Keith Zhang is Co-Founder of YouArt, building the Patreon for AI Originals, a platform where storytellers create AI films and series, get funded by fans, and earn subscription revenue.

Keith previously worked at Google and TikTok, where he grew TikTok Shop Ads from zero to $100M in revenue, and co-founded Speaking AI, a top text-to-speech model startup.

Keith brings deep expertise in the creator economy, community growth, and AI-powered monetization, with a vision to replace the traditional Hollywood pipeline with accessible, creator-owned infrastructure.

He also founded Soulscape, a premier global AI creator ecosystem and film festival, collaborating with Oscar-winning Matrix visual effects artist John Gaeta and drawing 200+ world-class AI creators to its inaugural 48-hour film competition.

YouArt, backed by Y Combinator (Batch P26), has grown to 1M+ subscribers and is empowering the next generation of storytellers by connecting world-class creative talent with scalable monetization infrastructure.
