What Wscripted does

Wscripted is a female-founded, New York-based company founded in 2020 that operates Wscripted+, an AI-powered story discovery platform for Film, TV, and Publishing. The platform connects a writer-side supply base (women and non-binary writers, filmmakers, and indie producers) with a buyer-side demand base (producers, literary agents, managers, sales agents, and development/acquisition executives) through interest-aligned matching rather than credential-based scoring. Core technology includes AI-generated summaries and project breakdowns (produced in under five minutes for screenplays and approximately ten minutes for books), AI-powered audio narration, and a recommendation engine that maps structured project metadata — genre, themes, tone, comparative titles — to producer-stated creative interests. The platform's defining architectural choice is that language models are stored in escrow on AWS infrastructure in partnership with Mila Institute, explicitly preventing models from training on or reusing user content, with all projects private by default and writers approving view requests.

The company monetizes through tiered subscriptions on Wscripted+: a free discovery tier (between $0 and $20/month), a $10/month Storyteller tier for writers promoting projects, a Professionals tier starting at $50/month for industry reviewers, and a Custom enterprise tier for studios, production companies, talent agencies, and talent programs offering unlimited license, white-label, and program submissions. Beyond the platform, Wscripted runs several brand-defining initiatives including the Cannes Screenplay List (presented by MUBI since 2021, now in its sixth edition), the Originals List (up to 35 projects per cycle, pitched at a Los Angeles event), The Roundup monthly genre-specific newsletter reaching 5,000+ production companies and executives, and the Produced by Visionaries event series co-hosted with Forbes during the Cannes Film Festival. Go-to-market combines product-led self-serve sign-up, event-driven visibility during Cannes, and community-led engagement via newsletter and social channels; supporting partners include Techstars Atlanta powered by JP Morgan (2024 cohort), Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs, Cosynd for copyright registration, and Stripe for payments.

Wscripted is privately held with 1–10 employees, headquartered at 169 Madison Ave STE 11050, New York. Two accelerator-style engagements are disclosed (Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs in 2023 and Techstars/JPMorgan in 2024), with no disclosed dollar amounts and no parent company identified. The company is led by founder Ellie Jamen and remains at an early commercialization stage, with the Wscripted+ platform launched in May 2026 as the consolidation point for its initiatives and as the primary conversion surface from brand-driven demand into recurring subscription revenue.
