What Bluma does

Bluma is the first AI short form content engine. In a post-AI world, attention is the most valuable commodity. Social media is only growing faster and faster, and we're still early. We automate your entire consumer marketing strategy by cloning your competitor's viral videos. Everything that a growth team would plan, script, produce, and edit, Bluma can clone end-to-end and at scale.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an AI-driven platform that automates the entire process of producing short-form video ads. Instead of manually scripting, shooting, and editing, Bluma clones viral videos from competitors and scales content at speed. It's aimed at marketing and growth teams who want consistent, high-performing social media ads without the usual bottlenecks.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live in San Francisco, and we plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we both live and where most clients and talent are concentrated. Staying here gives us direct access to our market and resources we need to grow fast.

Is this the real Bluma YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Bluma's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Bluma would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
