What they do

Problem

3D creation and collaboration tools are complex and not easily accessible for teams to work together in real time.

Solution

Clay provides a collaborative 3D design platform akin to Figma that lets people create and edit 3D content together online.

Who it's for

Designers, 3D artists, and product teams who need to collaboratively create and iterate on 3D content.

Founders

Phillippe Siclait
Founder

I'm a co-founder and the CEO of Clay. I was an early software engineer at Airbnb and before that I was a researcher in MIT's Computer Graphics Group. I love making 3D art and have been making my own 3D games (coding + 3D art) since I was in middle school.

Sebastien Siclait
Founder

Hi there! I am a co-founder of Clay in YC W21. I am from Miami, FL but currently live in Los Angeles, CA. I graduated from Columbia University in May 2018 with a BA in Computer Science with a focus on Interactive and Creative Technologies and spent the two years leading up to YC working with Walt Disney Animation Studios. I'm interested in finding ways to enable compelling storytelling with technology.
