Cartwheel provides a text-to-animation platform that synthesizes motion on fully editable 3D assets rather than on rendered pixels, enabling users to instantly adjust characters, camera angles, motion speed, backgrounds, aspect ratios, and typography from simple prompts. Finished animations can be exported directly into game engines and 3D tools such as Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, and Blender, broadening applicability for game developers, filmmakers, advertisers, and content creators. Current use cases span game development, VR and AR experiences, films, music videos, social media content, and advertising. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Jonathan Jarvis and is headquartered in New York City. Although specific revenue or user metrics were not disclosed, the company plans to use newly raised capital to scale operations and accelerate product development. The platform’s focus on editable 3D assets positions it to streamline creative workflows and potentially reduce production costs for teams requiring high-quality animation. Future development efforts are expected to deepen integrations with leading 3D tools and expand the feature set for professional creators.
