Maverick is a San Francisco AI startup that generates personalized videos at scale for ecommerce brands. A merchant records one short base video, and Maverick's generative AI clones the voice and reshapes it to greet each customer by name across email flows - welcome, post-purchase, abandoned cart and more. The platform layers on inbox-placement optimization and automatic subject-line A/B testing, and plugs natively into Klaviyo. Founded in 2021 by Eitan Winer and Debarshi Chaudhuri, Maverick sells the idea that online shopping should feel a little more like being recognized by name at your neighborhood store.
Eitan Winer is the co-founder and CEO of Maverick, a San Francisco startup that uses generative AI to send personalized videos and AI-optimized email at scale for ecommerce brands. Raised in La Paz, Bolivia and trained in Management Science & Engineering at Stanford, he spent eight years building products at mobile gaming company Pocket Gems and ran an alpaca-apparel store on Shopify before teaming up with engineer Debarshi Chaudhuri in 2021. Maverick records a merchant once, then uses lip-sync and face-sync models to generate thousands of customer-specific videos, aiming to make online shopping feel as personal as walking into a store.

Ethan Choi is a Partner at Khosla Ventures leading the firm's Growth Fund, where he writes checks between $15M and $70M into cloud infrastructure, SaaS, enterprise, and consumer internet companies from Seed through Series C. Before joining Khosla in 2024, he was a Partner at Accel, where he backed Klaviyo (now NYSE: KVYO), 1Password, and Pismo (acquired by Visa). His investing philosophy pivoted from metrics-first to founder-first — he now spends 90% of his diligence energy on the people rather than the numbers. A former LDS missionary who spent two years in South Korea, Choi is an unusually direct voice on AI's disruption of white-collar work and the coming robotics inflection point.
