Project Initiation

MorphCast emerged as a visionary project under the umbrella of Cynny SpA in 2014, in Florence, Italy. It was born from the pioneering vision of Stefano Bargagni, who recognized that traditional linear videos were no longer sufficient.

Since August 1st, 2024, the business of Cynny SpA has been acquired by MorphCast Inc., USA, a Delaware company founded by Stefano and his team.
