Odyssey is building Hollywood-grade generative worlds, where beautiful scenery, characters, lighting, and motion can be both generated and directed. Our mission is to deliver a better way to create films and games.

Odyssey was founded in late 2023 by Oliver Cameron (ex-Cruise, Voyage, Y Combinator alum) and Jeff Hawke (ex-Wayve, Willow Garage, Oxford AI PhD), two veterans of self-driving cars and AI. They’ve since recruited a world-class team of experienced ML researchers from Cruise, Waymo, Wayve, Tesla, Microsoft, Meta, and NVIDIA; lead computer graphics researchers from EA, Ubisoft, and Valve; and technical artists behind Hollywood blockbusters like Dune, Godzilla, Avengers, and Jurassic World. Odyssey intends to become Hollywood’s AI team.

Odyssey has raised venture capital from GV, EQT Ventures, Air Street Capital, DCVC, Elad Gil, Garry Tan, Soleio, Jeff Dean, Kyle Vogt, Qasar Younis, Guillermo Rauch, Soumith Chintala, and researchers from OpenAI, DeepMind, Meta, Midjourney, and Pixar.
