Company
Tella
The all-in-one screen recorder.
We built a screen recorder that lets teams quickly record video messages, product demos, and long-form videos - all in one app with one subscription. People use Tella to communicate faster and share content more easily without juggling multiple tools or complex editing software.
We live in Amsterdam, Netherlands. After YC, we would keep the company based here but support a fully remote team, just as we do now.
Amsterdam gives us access to strong engineering and design talent in Europe, and remote work lets us collaborate without relocation hurdles. We've built Tella here with a small, focused team that works well distributed.
