Why New York businesses need video that converts.
New York City is the world's second-largest startup ecosystem, home to more than 25,000 tech companies in the metro area generating $147 billion in annual economic impact, according to Fortune's 2026 Silicon Alley report. The city's investors committed $28.4 billion to New York startups in 2024 alone. In a market this competitive, every pitch deck, landing page, and product demo competes for attention from investors and customers who have seen everything. The explainer video New York founders rely on is no longer optional — it is the fastest way to close that attention gap.
A custom animated explainer video communicates a product's value in the time a New York audience will actually give you. Research by Wyzowl shows that 97% of people say an explainer video helped them understand a product better. Viewers retain 95% of a message delivered through video compared with just 10% from reading text. For NYC companies competing for investor attention and user acquisition in the same week, that retention gap is the difference between a conversion and a bounce.

Based in Woodhaven, Queens, we handle explainer video production New York clients across Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island, and New Jersey depend on.

Startups and Venture-Backed Companies
NYC startups raising from the city's $28.4 billion annual VC market need investor explainer videos for pitch decks, Demo Day, YC applications, and Product Hunt launches. 2D animation works before the product is finished.
Healthcare and MedTech
New York's healthcare institutions, including NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian health tech startups, commission explainer video production NYC studios for animated videos that communicate clinical procedures, patient journeys, and digital health platforms to non-clinical audiences and investors.
Real Estate and PropTech
New York City's real estate market generates more technology products than any other city in the world. PropTech platforms, investment portals, and property management software all rely on explainer videos to communicate their value to landlords, tenants, and institutional investors.
Media and Entertainment
NYC media companies, from streaming platforms to advertising technology firms to content studios, use explainer videos to pitch B2B services, explain subscription products, and communicate platform capabilities to brand partners and advertisers.
Legal and Professional Services
New York's legal and professional services sector uses animated explainer videos to communicate complex processes to clients: litigation timelines, compliance procedures, tax strategies, and M&A workflows. Animation simplifies dense subject matter that live action and slide decks cannot.
Fashion, Retail and E-commerce
New York's fashion and retail companies, from Seventh Avenue brands to direct-to-consumer startups, use animated explainer videos for brand storytelling, product launch campaigns, and marketplace onboarding. 2D animation works across channels from homepage hero to paid Instagram.
