About
Aview started in 2017 as Web Translators International, run by two Ontario high school students who recruited about 60 translators and subtitled videos for the creators they already watched. Logan Paul was the first big client; Yes Theory, What If and Mark Rober followed. The founders paused the company for university and restarted it after the pandemic. Today Aview is a content localization platform: context-aware translation, AI voiceover and dubbing, cultural adaptation, clip generation and distribution to YouTube, TikTok, Bilibili and other platforms. The company went through the Techstars Toronto accelerator in 2023 and Creative Destruction Lab. On the TechTO stage in February 2024, Maharaj said his co-founder spends his day on customer retention — to the point that customers have his phone number and can call him for an answer on the spot.
Backers

Quick answers
What does Aview International do?
It takes video that already exists and makes it work in other languages and markets — translated subtitles, AI dubbing, cultural adaptation, short-form clips — then distributes it to YouTube, TikTok and other platforms. Customers are content creators and enterprise companies that want an international audience without re-shooting anything.
Who founded Aview and when?
Akshay Maharaj and Garnet Delsey started it in 2017 as high school students in Ontario, under the name Web Translators International. Maharaj has told the story on stage: his co-founder was a friend he grew up with, and the photo of the two of them from that era was taken at their grade 12 prom.
Which creators has Aview worked with?
Maharaj named Logan Paul, Yes Theory, What If and Mark Rober from the TechTO stage in 2024. The company site currently also lists MD Motivator, Even Out and School of Hard Knocks.
