Tech-Driven Black Founders Bring AI Creator Tools to the Culture
Trey Young and Preston Weaver, the founders of Blankit Media, a Black-owned, next-generation entertainment company powered by generative AI, are developing tools that empower creators to build, manage, and monetize their own AI-powered virtual influencers. The company has launched a Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) campaign on StartEngine to raise capital for the continued development of its proprietary AI toolset.
Blankit Media’s AI systems integrate generative video, synthetic voice, and animated character technology, enabling creators to generate original content for their virtual influencers and distribute it across platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. The company’s goal is to streamline content creation and publishing while helping creators retain full ownership of their intellectual property.
“We want to give creators superpowers,” said Trey Young, Co-Founder and CEO of Blankit Media. “We’re building tools that let anyone create their own AI influencer, test content in real time, and compete at the level of a full media studio.”
