Weber Wong is the founder and CEO of FLORA, an AI-powered workspace designed to help creative professionals ideate, iterate, and scale their ideas faster than ever before. Prior to founding FLORA, Weber had a diverse range of professional experiences that included stints as an investment banker, a geopolitical researcher, a venture capitalist, and an artist.

Key Takeaways:

After stints as an investment banker, a geopolitical researcher, a venture capitalist, and an artist, Weber went to NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) where he studied how to use technology for creative innovation.
Weber observed that tools for creatives were outdated, and that AI had created the opportunity to reinvent the creative process for marketers, product designers, architects, and other creative professionals. And because Weber is an artist designing for his own needs, it’s given him a very clear vision for FLORA’s product.
FLORA’s core innovation has been moving beyond single LLM prompts to an infinite workspace that integrates cutting-edge AI models across text, images, and video, allowing creative professionals to continuously iterate on their ideas.
In two years, FLORA has gained adoption from some of the best creative teams in the world, including industry leaders like Netflix, Nike, Levi’s, WPP, and AKQA. Not only are these companies customers, they are also design partners whose feedback has played a critical role in shaping FLORA’s product vision and strategy.
Weber expects AI to shift creative tools from a bottom-up paradigm that requires users to manually design creative assets piece by piece, to a far more efficient AI-native paradigm that is top-down, where creatives can start with a rough concept and then iteratively refine it until it’s pixel-perfect.
