Biography

CEO and co-founder of Runway, the pioneering AI video generation company behind Gen-3 Alpha. NYU ITP graduate who helped build the creative tools that brought AI-generated video into the mainstream.

JustSaid Take EDITORIAL
OUR READ

Valenzuela understood before almost anyone that AI-generated video was going to be a product category, not just a research demo. Runway shipped commercial video generation tools while Google and Meta were still publishing papers. Gen-3 Alpha is genuinely impressive, but the real competition is now brutal — Sora, Veo, Kling, and Pika are all closing the gap fast. The question is whether being first gives Runway enough of a workflow and brand advantage to survive the frontier model providers entering the space.
