The Startup Problem

Every Startup Has 60 Seconds to Make
the Right First Impression

Investors see hundreds of pitch decks. Users won't read your feature list. Partners need to understand your product before they'll commit. The startups that win use video to close that gap, fast.

📉

Your Landing Page Isn't Converting

Traffic is coming in but visitors don't understand what you do quickly enough. They leave. A 90-second explainer video above the fold changes this immediately, giving users the clarity they need to sign up.

↑ 80% average conversion lift with video
💼

Investors Aren't Getting It From Your Deck

Your pitch deck is 30 slides of text and charts. The startups getting meetings are showing investors a 90-second animated video that makes the opportunity visceral and clear before slide one. You need that.

🔄

New Users Are Churning on Onboarding

Users sign up, open the product, don't immediately understand how it works, and never come back. An onboarding explainer video cuts this churn loop by giving users an instant, visual walkthrough of the value inside.

↓ 23% average onboarding churn reduction
Who This Is For

Whether You're Pre-Launch or Series A,
There's a Video That Fits

Unlike generic video agencies, we build every video to match your startup's stage, because a pre-seed founder and a Series A company need completely different things from their video.

Pre-Seed and Bootstrap

Starter Package, From $1,500
Seed Stage

Why 2D Animation

Why 2D Animation Is the Smart Choice
for Early-Stage Startups

Startups have three constraints: time, budget, and an evolving product. 2D animation solves all three, and outperforms every alternative format on the metrics that matter for early-stage growth.

🚀

No Finished Product Required

2D animation shows what you're building, not what you've built. Perfect for pre-launch, beta, and MVP stages where your product is still evolving.

✏️

Easy to Update as You Iterate

Your product changes fast. 2D animation is far cheaper to update than live-action, no reshooting, no actor rescheduling, no location fees.

💰

No Studio, Actor or Location Costs

Live action requires crew, locations, actors, and editing. 2D animation delivers the same professional result at a fraction of the cost and time.

🎨

Full Brand Flexibility

Every element, colors, characters, environments, typography, is built to your brand. No stock footage, no generic assets, no off-brand visuals.

📱

Works at Every Length

One production delivers your 90-second homepage video, 30-second ad cut, 15-second social clip, and 2-minute investor version, all from the same animation assets.

📈

Outperforms on B2B Platforms

2D animation consistently outperforms live-action on LinkedIn, YouTube, and email for B2B SaaS, fintech, and tech startups targeting business buyers.

Use Cases

7 Times Your Startup
Absolutely Needs an Explainer Video

The right video at the right moment in your startup's growth can change everything, from landing page conversion rates to the outcome of a funding round.

01

Your landing page has traffic but isn't converting

Replace your static hero section with a 60-second explainer. Average conversion lift: 80%. It pays for itself within weeks.

02

You're applying to YC, Techstars, or a VC

A 90-second animated pitch video submitted alongside your application makes your product tangible and memorable when partners are reviewing 1,000 decks.

03

You're replacing 20 slides with 2 minutes

Embed your explainer video into your pitch deck. It handles the product explanation so you can spend investor time on traction, market size, and team.

04

You're going live on Product Hunt

Product Hunt listings with a video consistently outperform those without. Your launch video is your most important asset on launch day.

05

You're launching paid social or YouTube ads

Every package includes social media cuts, 1:1 square for Instagram/Facebook, 9:16 vertical for TikTok and Reels, optimized for paid distribution from day one.

06

New users are churning at onboarding

An in-app onboarding video that shows users the value inside your product in 90 seconds reduces early churn and increases activation rates significantly.

07

You're raising a Seed or Series A round

Investors fund what they understand. A 2-minute animated narrative that tells your origin, problem, solution, and traction story makes the fundraising conversation immediately more productive.

Production Process

From Brief to Finished Video
in 14 Business Days

A founder-friendly production pipeline built for startup speed. Every project runs through six stages with client approval gates at each one, so nothing moves forward without your sign-off.

01
Stage 1

Discovery Brief and Strategy Call

You fill out our startup brief form covering your product, audience, ICP, conversion goal, and brand voice. We hop on a 30-minute kickoff call to close any gaps and agree on the video's single core message, the one idea your audience must leave with.

Day 1
02
Stage 2

Script and Narrative

Our strategist writes a conversion-focused script with a clear narrative arc: problem to solution to proof to call to action. You receive it for review with two revision rounds before anything else begins. No animation starts until your script is locked.

Days 2 to 3
03
Stage 3

Style Frames and Storyboard

Our art director develops 3 to 5 keyframe illustrations locking in your visual language, character style, color palette, environment design, and typography. Then we build a full scene-by-scene storyboard so you can see the complete story before a single frame is animated.

Days 3 to 5
04
Stage 4

Voiceover and Sound Design

You select your preferred voiceover artist from 3 auditions sourced from our roster of 50+ professional VO talent across 20+ languages. Music is selected or composed to match your brand energy. Voiceover and music are locked before animation begins to ensure perfect timing throughout.

Days 4 to 6
05
Stage 5

2D Animation Production

Our animators work scene-by-scene in Toon Boom Harmony or Adobe Animate, building every character, environment, and motion sequence against the approved storyboard and locked audio. You receive a work-in-progress preview at 50% so any adjustments happen before the final render.

Days 6 to 12
06
Stage 6

Final Delivery

Final render, color grade, and sound mix. You receive MP4 (web-optimized), MOV (broadcast quality), 1:1 square cut for Instagram and Facebook, and 9:16 vertical cut for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. All files delivered via private download link. Full commercial usage rights transferred on delivery.

FAQ

Startup Explainer Video,
Frequently Asked Questions

Our startup explainer video packages start at $1,500 for a 60-second Starter video, $3,500 for a 90-second Pro production with custom character design, and $7,000 for Enterprise projects up to 3 minutes. All packages include professional scriptwriting, voiceover, animation, music, sound design, social media cuts, and full commercial rights. There are no hidden fees, no per-revision charges, and no surprise invoices.
Our standard turnaround is 14 business days from approved script to final video delivery. This covers discovery, scriptwriting, storyboard, voiceover recording, full animation production, sound design, and two revision rounds. Rush 7-day delivery is available on Pro and Enterprise packages for product launches, YC applications, or fundraising deadlines.
All packages include professional scriptwriting as standard. Our strategist writes a conversion-focused script based on your startup brief, target audience, core problem you solve, and desired call to action. You receive the full script for approval with two revision rounds before any artwork or animation begins. If you already have a script, we can work from it and reduce the timeline accordingly.
For homepage and landing page videos, 60 to 90 seconds is the proven sweet spot, long enough to explain your value proposition and include a call to action, short enough to keep viewer attention through to the end. Investor pitch videos can run 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Paid ad cuts should be 15 to 30 seconds. Every package includes social media cuts so you can deploy the right length across every channel.
Yes, and this is one of the highest-ROI uses of a startup explainer video. Embed the video directly into your pitch deck to handle the product explanation visually before you walk investors through traction and financials. You can also share it as a standalone link in cold outreach emails to VCs and angels. The delivered MP4 file embeds cleanly into any presentation format.
To start your startup explainer video project, we need a completed brief covering: your product overview, target customer profile, core problem you solve, key features or benefits to highlight, desired call to action, and any brand guidelines or visual references. We send you our startup brief template after the initial call. Existing brand assets, style guides, or competitor videos you like are helpful but not required to begin.
For most early-stage startups, 2D animation is the better choice. It doesn't require a finished product to film, it's far cheaper and faster than live-action production, it's easier to update as your product evolves, and it outperforms live-action on B2B platforms like LinkedIn and YouTube for software and tech products. Live-action makes sense when human trust signals are the primary goal, for consumer products, testimonial-led content, or founder-facing brand storytelling.
All packages include MP4 (web-optimized, ready for embedding on your site or uploading to YouTube/Vimeo), MOV (broadcast quality for presentation use), 1:1 square cut for Instagram and Facebook, and 9:16 vertical cut for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. GIF versions and transparent-background MOV files with alpha channel are available as optional add-ons.
Yes, the majority of our work is for SaaS, fintech, healthtech, and B2B tech startups. We understand how to script for a technical product without losing a non-technical audience, how to show software UI in animation without making it look generic, and how to frame complex value propositions in 60 to 90 seconds. You can see startup-specific examples in our portfolio.
Every project includes two full revision rounds. If the final video does not meet the agreed brief after revisions, we will rework it completely at no additional cost or issue a full refund. We have a 100% satisfaction rate, but the guarantee exists because we stand behind every video we deliver.
