Seed investors bet on founders. Your pitch video is the first look at the founder.
Seed-stage investors are pattern-matching on founder quality, not business certainty. A pitch video shows the founder before the deck does.
We produce seed round investor pitch videos for Austin founders raising pre-seed and seed capital from angel investors, family offices, and seed-stage venture funds. The seed pitch video is different from a Series A video — it has less evidence to draw on and more work to do on the conviction and personal credibility front. We build seed pitch videos around the founder's specific insight and the urgency of the problem, not the metrics that haven't happened yet.
Seed pitch videos are sent in warm intro sequences, embedded in AngelList and Carta profiles, included in YC and accelerator applications, and shared by advisors with their networks. For seed-stage founders also building a personal founder story alongside the investor pitch, the deeper founder narrative work at FounderStoryAustin.com produces the founder credibility film that lives at a separate layer from the pitch itself.
The primary pitch vehicle — watched before the deck, referenced in follow-ups, sent to LP networks.
Designed to open inside a pitch presentation. Sets tone and builds trust before a word is spoken.
Shareable momentum signal for LinkedIn and close networks during the raise.
Every production frame in your private portal. Repurpose for future raises and press.
Two to three minutes. Seed investors watch many pitches; a concise video that makes the key points in two minutes shows better communication judgment than a five-minute video that could be three. We compress to the essential.
No. Financial projections in a seed pitch video tend to undermine credibility rather than build it. The pitch video's job is conviction-building; financials belong in the data room and live pitch. Reference the opportunity size; leave projections for the deck.
Yes. Many founders produce seed pitch videos during incorporation to have investor-ready materials from day one of the raise. We've filmed in founders' apartments, co-working spaces, and early office environments — the environment is less important than the clarity of the message.
