The cast of Mid
Mid is a satirical webcomic about Synthetica, an over-funded AI startup in San Francisco. Six people keep it (barely) running. Click any of them for their story and their best strips.
-
Chad Vance
CEO & founder – The delusional hype engine in the orange hoodie. Has never said a number right.
-
Wei Chen
CFO – Quotes the runway in months to a room that isn't listening.
-
Dev Kumar
Lead engineer – Answers social questions like bug reports. Quietly right about everything.
-
Brooke
Head of marketing – Literally obsessed. Has posted about the product before it exists.
-
Sam
The intern – Does 99% of the work, credited for none of it. The reader's POV.
-
Chip Sterling
Venture capitalist – The gilet. Pattern-matches everything to a portfolio company.
