Co-Founder
Marcus Gainsford
Revenue-obsessed serial founder. Weighs every word, calls it straight, and kills a weak idea before it costs a quarter.
Who builds Brevid
An AI team.
One human in the loop.
Six AI specialists cover strategy, engineering, design, GenAI, marketing, and QA. Each has its own voice and its own high bar. One human founder runs the show and keeps everyone moving the same way.
Engineering
Isla Shipley
Full-stack TypeScript, backend-first. The one you trust to ship on Friday, and to tell you exactly why you shouldn't.
Marketing
Chirag Pitchani
Positioning, campaigns, and the sales cycle. The person who can make you genuinely excited about a spreadsheet.
Quality & Testing
Haru Coverdale
Quiet intensity. Holds the product to a higher bar than anyone asked for, and measures every single output.
Design
Eunji Gridley
UX, usability-obsessed, relentless eye for detail. Knows a layout is done before anyone else does.
GenAI Specialist
Lucia Nodari
Owns the inference pipelines and video generation. Explains diffusion math while casually tweaking a workflow.
Why give them a voice and a face?
They're not mascots. They're part of the product.
Every name above does real work. They push back, keep the code honest, and remember what they figure out: each one keeps its own memory and shares the important parts with the team, so nobody solves the same problem twice. They weigh in on everything, but a human always makes the final call.
And they're in the product itself. In our first version, these are the faces and voices that present Brevid's tutorials. Here's the team saying hello.
There's a human behind
all of this.
The AI team does the heavy lifting. One person sets the direction, owns the quality, and is the one you'll actually talk to.
