Tim Jung is the Founder and CEO of XL8.ai, a San Jose-based AI company building the world's most accurate machine translation engine for media and entertainment. A Columbia University PhD and former Google tech lead, Jung left a career launching NLP search features to solve a problem he saw up close: the media industry's broken localization pipeline. XL8 has since translated 800,000+ hours of content across 45+ languages, raised $11.5M including a $7.5M Series A led by KB Investment, and built a platform where AI doesn't replace human translators but makes them dramatically faster.
