Phillippe Siclait

Founder

I'm a co-founder and the CEO of Clay. I was an early software engineer at Airbnb and before that I was a researcher in MIT's Computer Graphics Group. I love making 3D art and have been making my own 3D games (coding + 3D art) since I was in middle school.

Sebastien Siclait

Founder

Hi there! I am a co-founder of Clay in YC W21. I am from Miami, FL but currently live in Los Angeles, CA. I graduated from Columbia University in May 2018 with a BA in Computer Science with a focus on Interactive and Creative Technologies and spent the two years leading up to YC working with Walt Disney Animation Studios. I'm interested in finding ways to enable compelling storytelling with technology.
