Rembrand
Rembrand is an AI advertising platform that drops real products into video content after the camera stops rolling. Its computer-vision models reconstruct scenes, then render brand-safe placements - virtual signage, billboards, even physical products - that look like they were filmed on set. Founded in 2022 by serial entrepreneur Omar Tawakol, the Los Altos startup is building what it calls 'in-content advertising' for the streaming, creator and CTV era.
Omar Tawakol
Omar Tawakol is a serial entrepreneur and AI advertising pioneer who turned audience data, voice AI, and now spatially-aware AI into three consecutive company exits. He founded BlueKai (acquired by Oracle for $400M+), Voicea (acquired by Cisco), and currently leads Rembrand, an AI-powered virtual product placement platform that embeds brands invisibly into video content. He holds board seats at The Trade Desk and LiveRamp, and in 2025 merged Rembrand with Spaceback to build an AI-powered ad factory that reaches across CTV, digital video, and display.
