Founding Story
Alejandro Matamala-Ortiz co-founded Runway in 2018 alongside Cristóbal Valenzuela and Anastasis Germanidis. Coming from an art and design background, he was absolutely critical in designing Runway's incredibly sleek, browser-based interface, perfectly abstracting the incredibly complex underlying AI models so that video editors could use them without knowing how to code. (Exact birth year remains publicly undisclosed).
