The YC application· Winter 2025 batch
Company profile
researched Aug 2026Mosaic is a San Francisco-based company building what it describes as frontier video agents: AI systems intended to carry out video editing work automatically. The company's stated aim is to codify the language of video and encode it as editorial judgment within agents. Its product combines a node-based canvas, on which users assemble and run their own multimodal video editing agents, with a video editor in which users can chat with their footage for final adjustments. The company positions the canvas as handling the bulk of an edit automatically, with the editor used for polish.
Mosaic was founded in 2024 and participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch, with Harj Taggar as primary partner. Its team is led by co-founders Adish Jain (CEO), previously an engineer at Tesla, AWS and Berkeley, and Kyle Wade (CTO), previously an ML researcher at UCSD and a software engineer at Tesla. The company also markets a video agent product called Motion, promoted on its editing product site at edit.mosaic.so.
Founding story
The two founders met as engineers at Tesla. They set out to make a YouTube video about Cybertrucks in Palo Alto, planning to buy a share of Tesla stock for each Cybertruck they counted on camera. After recording, they were left with hours of raw footage that had to be reviewed manually, and found tasks in editors such as DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro difficult to accomplish, with features buried in menus and frequent recourse to Google or ChatGPT for instructions. They concluded that multimodal AI embedded in a video editor could apply edits automatically based on what it saw and heard in the footage, and began building what they described as a "Cursor for video editing."

Market position
Mosaic describes itself as building frontier video agents, framing its product as an agentic alternative to manual work in conventional non-linear editors such as DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro.
Technology
The product applies multimodal AI to video, using what the video agent sees and hears in footage to apply edits. Architecturally it consists of a node-based canvas for composing and executing user-defined video editing agents and a video editor with a stateful chat copilot for iterative refinement.
Geography
Headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, where the company also recruits for a founding go-to-market role.
History
Mosaic was founded in 2024 and joined Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch. During the first month of the batch the team built a full video editor with a stateful multimodal chat copilot. User conversations surfaced limitations in the sequential prompt-and-response chat interface for video work, and in the second month the founders reworked the approach into an agentic paradigm, producing a node-based canvas on which users create and run their own multimodal video editing agents, paired with the editor and chat for final polish.
