About this company

They have lined up a roster of Hollywood and tech mavens for their advisory board. Their business is global and B2C oriented, with some of the clients being huge names in the industry, such as Warner Bros and Universal Studios.

They have also collaborated with companies like Comcast, AT&T, and others. Wonder Dynamics is backed by the Founders Fund, a leading Silicon Valley VC that funded giants such as SpaceX, Facebook, Spotify, and DeepMind.
