Video Mashup Pro ReelSurfer Lands $880K From YC, Executive Producer Of The Hangover
Summary
Don’t let its simplicity or niche use case fool you, ReelSurfer has a lot of potential in its ability to transform everyday consumers into video creators, curators and mashup artists. That potential was officially validated today, as co-founder Neil Joglekar tells us that his startup has raised $880K in seed funding to continue building out its product — and team. With this functionality in place, ReelSurfer is today teaming up with Orrick (on of the biggest law firms in the country) to run a video mashup contest. As an example, the ReelSurfer co-founder offers up “How to Pitch Successfully” and “Fundraising Advice.” The contest will have three grand prize winners, each of whom will receive a 30-minute meeting with a VC. As of now, participating investors include Garry Tan from Y Combinator, Alex Niehenke from Crosslink Capital and Kristen Green from Forerunner Ventures.
