Checked away from the directory entry. Neither line below comes from the company's Y Combinator page.
Create interactive avatars with natural expressions, lip sync, and body language. LemonSlice powers real-time AI conversations from any image.
The title and description the site itself served, answering 200. Not a cached copy and not the company's directory entry — what was live when we asked.
Counted only where a thread links to this company's own site, announces it by name on that forum, or names it beside its own Y Combinator batch. A thread whose title merely carries the words is not counted — a name is not an identifier. Hacker News is not us, and nothing above is our opinion of the company.
Lina Colucci
Founder/CEO
I previously co-founded a profitable ML company that made $10 million. I received my PhD from MIT and Harvard. I am originally from Brazil and love dancing, playing music, and blogging/vlogging. I've always loved the intersection of tech and the arts. One of my first inventions was re-designing the traditional ballet point shoe for the 21st century.

Sidney Primas
Founder/CTO
ML Engineering + Product. Prior to Infinity, I co-founded Edge Analytics, an ML consulting company that we grew to 12 mostly PhD-level engineers and $3M/year in revenue. Prior to that, went to MIT to get PhD in ML algorithms for medical imaging. Dropped out. Originally from Switzerland.
Andrew Weitz
Founder
Over 10 years of experience working on AI/ML and synthetic media. Previously, I co-founded and led machine learning at Edge Analytics, a boutique consulting firm that developed algorithms and shipped products for startups and Fortune 500 tech companies, reaching $3M/year in revenue. I received my PhD in Bioengineering from Stanford University, where I performed research in medical imaging and computational neuroscience.
Founders, titles and bios as the company published them. Photographs are our own copies of the ones on that record, so they do not break when the original link expires.
No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.

Is this you?
If you're behind LemonSlice: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
