Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

On-Demand, Fully-Remote Marketing Videos

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

We built a platform that connects marketing teams with expert video producers to record and produce sales and marketing videos remotely. Our system lets guests and producers collaborate live from anywhere, making production about four times faster and at roughly one-tenth the cost of traditional agencies.

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

We live in New York, NY and the company is based here, with a fully remote team spread across different locations.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose New York because it's home and has access to marketing and sales teams that need video content. Our team works remotely, which helps hire talent regardless of location.
