ValkaAI
Real-time interactive digital humans for entertainment and e-sports
About ValkaAI
ValkaAI is a Czech startup founded in 2026 by Vlastimil Venclik (CEO; previously scaled Oddin.gg) and Milos Lokajicek (COO) building an AI video platform for lifelike, interactive digital humans for B2B clients in entertainment, sports and e-sports. The system synthesises video frame by frame from voice, gestures or in-game signals — combining voice cloning, speech and video synthesis — so avatars and AI commentators can react in real time without common generative-video flicker or degradation. In February 2026 ValkaAI closed a €12 million pre-seed led by Rockaway Ventures with J&T Ventures, Tensor Ventures, BD Partners and Fond Nase Cesko, among the larger CEE pre-seeds, to expand research and product teams, advance real-time digital characters, scale compute and launch early commercial pilots; teams operate across the Czech Republic, the United States and the UAE.
