Joel Korpi is a veteran product and entrepreneurial leader specializing in video, streaming, and AI-powered media platforms, now co-founding a stealth startup in Austin. With a career spanning startups to Amazon Prime Video where he led AI-driven video/audio quality and live operations, he has repeatedly built live streaming, encoding, analytics, and computer-vision products that improve viewer experience and ad yield. Joel has run product and engineering teams, raised Series A, owned P&L for platform products, and contributed to industry standards through IAB, SMPTE and W3C participation. He combines deep hands-on engineering roots from founding multiple companies in the late 90s/2000s with strategic product leadership across JW Player, Xandr, and Zype. Known for shipping data- and ML-driven features (including AI thumbnails that materially lifted engagement), he balances technical depth with operator instincts for large-scale media systems. Based in Austin, he brings both creative media sensibility (MA Film & Digital Media) and a BA in Computer Science to bridge storytelling and scalable engineering.
