Zingroll

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


  • Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:NCORP) but presently it is not clear that it does.
    As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. In short, "notability" requires reliable sources about the subject, rather than by the subject.
    Please note that several of the references are not formatted correctly (see Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor and Wikipedia’s Manual of Style for help).
    Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a promotional advertorial (see WP:PROMO and WP:EXCESSDETAIL), which Wikipedia is not.
    The draft does not appear to show that the subject has any notability beyond the average coverage in trade publications for similar corporations (see WP:ROTM); although please feel free to explain how it may meet WP:TRADES: "leading trade magazines may be used where independence is clear".
    Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid or being the subject, you must declare that on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please see WP:COI and/or WP:PAID). In instances of a conflict of interest, the review of the page needs to be handled with care, mindful of the higher bar set by pages produced in circumstances of such a conflict. Such pages typically may read too much like a promotional CV or advertorial (see WP:PROMO), which Wikipedia is not; and/or contain prose that is not of a standard appropriate for an encyclopaedia (also see WP:PEACOCK and WP:NPV).
    Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page.
    Note that since the draft was previously declined, you made practically no amendments before resubmitting again. To avoid further disappointment, please do NOT resubmit the draft until substantive issues raised here have been addressed.
    It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
    It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:NCORP criteria #3, because XXXXX").
    Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page, including the name of the draft page, and I would be happy to reassess. Again, please ‘’’post your responses on the draft's talk page’’’, not on my Talk page. Cabrils (talk) 23:59, 22 October 2026 (UTC)

Zingroll is an American streaming platform for AI-generated films and series.[1][2][3] The platform is known for it's short-form and episodic content produced with generative video tools.[4][5][6]

The company was founded by Harshit Yadav, who had previously built the consumer applications Airfeed and LitFeed.[2][7] It maintains offices in San Francisco and Delhi.[8]

Its investors include Accel, Andreessen Horowitz's Speedrun programme, Google, Z Fellows and Network VC.[9][2][10]

History

Zingroll was founded by Harshit Yadav, an entrepreneur based in San Francisco who had previously built 2 consumer applications, Airfeed and LitFeed.[2][7] The platform launched on iOS and subsequently on Android.[11][5] Its early positioning centred on free access to movies and series.[5][12] The application was later repositioned around personalised generation, allowing a user to appear as the protagonist of a movie generated from a single photograph.[11][13]

Atoms AI Cohort

In March 2026, Zingroll was named one of five startups selected for the Atoms AI Cohort 2026, a partnership between Accel and Google's AI Futures Fund announced in November 2025 to support early-stage companies building AI products connected to India.[1][14] The programme received more than 4,000 applications and each selected company became eligible for up to $2 million in funding from Accel and the AI Futures Fund together with up to $350,000 in Google cloud and AI compute credits.[1][3][15][16]

Accel partner Prayank Swaroop told TechCrunch that roughly 70% of the rejected applications were "wrappers" and that many of the remainder fell into crowded categories such as marketing automation and AI recruitment.[1][3] Jonathan Silber, co-founder and director of Google's AI Futures Fund, said the selected companies aligned with areas where Google expected deeper real-world adoption of AI.[1] The Free Press Journal characterised Zingroll as the creative outlier of the group.[3]

The cohort opened on 11 March 2026 at Google's Ananta campus in Bengaluru with virtual speaker series running through April and May 2026 and a concluding programme in Mountain View, California in June.[17] Announcing the selection, Accel described Zingroll as a streaming platform for AI-native films and shows.[17][18] The selection was also reported by The Indian Express, YourStory, Analytics India Magazine, Moneycontrol and IT Voice.[19][18][16][15][20]

Platform and technology

Zingroll distributes films and series produced with generative tools. The application is distributed free of charge, offers trailers and original series, with in-app purchases.[5][6] The application allows a user to upload a photograph and receive an episodic film in which they appear as the lead character.[11][13]

Funding

Zingroll raised $250,000 in pre-seed funding.[2] In November 2025, the Ukrainian-American firm Network VC announced an investment in the company. Its founder, Oleksandr Soroka, said the firm backs founders who change how audiences create and experience content.[2] Its listing with a16z Speedrun names Accel, a16z Speedrun, Google and Z Fellows among its backers,[9][10] and it appeared among the companies presenting at the a16z Speedrun 2025 demo day.[21] Selection for the Atoms AI Cohort in March 2026 carried eligibility for up to $2 million in further investment and up to $350,000 in Google compute credits.[1][3]
