Ukrainian tech startup Reface — which created a technology that allows users to “try on” the faces of other people in videos — has attracted $5.5 million to continue its exponential growth, the company announced on Dec. 8.
Several moguls across the gaming, music, film and tech industries have put money into the Ukrainian startup, including Silicon Valley venture firm Andreessen Horowitz, which previously invested in big names like Airbnb, Stripe, GitHub and Lyft. U.S. investors Scooter Braun and Adam Leber, who have worked with buzzy pop stars like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Britney Spears, also invested.
