Konstantin Hohr
Founder, Software Engineer

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

Open-source video-as-code. Think Remotion meets Rive. This is the runtime powering Midrender.
