The Makers: TwelveLabs CEO Jae Lee on Scaling Video Intelligence
Join us live from the Capgemini Applied Innovation Exchange studio in San Francisco for The Makers, the live event series dedicated to candid conversations with the founders and CEOs who are building the future of AI and technology. This is where we go beyond the hype to explore the journey, the engineering, and the real-world Traction of world-changing startups.
About the Episode: Scaling Video Intelligence
In this episode, host Andreas Sjostrom sits down with Jae Lee, the visionary Co-founder and CEO of TwelveLabs. TwelveLabs is pioneering a new frontier in AI, building multimodal foundation models (Marengo and Pegasus) that enable machines to see, hear, and understand video like humans do. Their technology is unlocking petabytes of previously unstructured video data, transforming massive video archives for global media companies, sports leagues, and government agencies.
In this high-impact conversation, we will trace the full arc of the journey, focusing on:
Spark: The moment Jae and his co-founders recognized that video, the world’s largest source of unstructured data, required a video-first AI approach, not just image or text models.
Make: The engineering breakthroughs and the dual-continent team (US & Korea) required to build and Make multimodal models that capture time, context, and meaning.
Traction: How TwelveLabs moved from research to enterprise-grade tools, enabling precise search ("find the scene where...") and generating rich insights across millions of hours of client video.
Horizon: The coming era of truly intelligent agents, what happens when every piece of video content becomes fully searchable and analyzable knowledge, and the global vision for the future of video AI.
These are conversations with founders who are actively Making it Real. Register now to gain deep, actionable insights into the next wave of multimodal AI and entrepreneurship at the Edge.
