Konstantin Hohr
Founder, Software Engineer
San Francisco
Hi, I'm Konsti. I am working on Midrender, a design tool for motion graphics where agents and humans collaborate. We're funded by some of the best investors in the world, including YC, General Catalyst and Paul Graham.
I like software that is minimal and beautiful. The best code is the code that never gets written.
AI has a reputation for the opposite, but, used conscientiously, I think it's an unbelievable unlock. In the coming years, most software will be rewritten by small, AI-enabled teams, leading to more open, accessible and interoperable tools.
I'm extremely excited for this future.
What I've been up to
Midrender (San Francisco)
A real-time collaborative design tool where agents and humans work together to create stunning animations for advertisements, demos or X posts. Embeddable on the web or exportable as video.
Revideo
Open-source video-as-code. Think Remotion meets Rive. This is the runtime powering Midrender.
Haven (Berlin)
Previous pivot of what is now Midrender. Fine-tuning of open-source LLMs for large European companies.
DynamoAI
Productized federated machine learning for banks and other highly regulated industries.
Jodel
Social media company, small engineering team serving millions of DAUs. Worked on most things at some point but spent a good amount of time on abuse detection and moderation systems.
RWTH Aachen
Undergrad in computer science. Dropped out to do Y Combinator. Worked as a software engineer before starting and through most of my time here.
