Blankit Media Raises Capital to Fuel AI-Powered Creator Tools
Blankit Media, a next-gen, Black-owned entertainment company founded by Trey Young and Preston Weaver, has officially launched a Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) campaign on StartEngine to raise capital for its growing suite of AI-driven creator tools.
The Atlanta-based startup is on a mission to give content creators the power to build and monetize AI-generated virtual influencers across platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, while maintaining full ownership of their IP.
“We want to give creators superpowers,” said Trey Young, CEO and Co-Founder. “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.”
Creating and Owning the Next Generation of Influencers
Blankit Media’s proprietary AI toolset combines generative video, synthetic voice, and animated characters—all designed to streamline content production, distribution, and monetization. From virtual hosts to branded cartoon avatars, the company is helping creators launch entire media franchises powered by automation.
In Q2 alone, Blankit’s content reached over 66 million views, showing massive potential for creator-led, AI-native storytelling.
Where the Funding Will Go
Proceeds from the Reg CF campaign will support the company’s shift to a fully AI-powered production model, specifically helping to:
- Expand Blankit’s AI voice and video generation systems
- Launch original video series starring virtual influencers
- Build brand partnerships and license AI-created IP
- Scale across monetized short-form content platforms
- Use automation to test trends and optimize performance
