Affogato
Oakland, California, United States
Overview
Affogato (rebranded from RenderNet) is a Y Combinator-backed AI studio offering 170+ image/video generation models in one workspace, with character/product/brand consistency locked across every shot -- targeting TikTok/Reels/ad-content creation without camera shoots. $3M total disclosed funding from 2 a.m. Ventures, Climber Capital, Goat Capital, GMO VenturePartners (round-by-round breakdown not found). Note: this is a US (Oakland, CA) company, notably outside Gemba's usual India focus. Gemba's own portfolio page marks it 'Inactive' -- confirmed via direct site check this pass that the company itself is very much LIVE and operating (active product, current YC page, live reviews as of 2026) -- 'Inactive' most likely reflects Gemba's own investment/involvement lapsing, not a company shutdown. Do not conflate the two.
