Videotto, a Singapore-based startup that uses AI for video editing, has raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding from East Ventures.
The company said it will use the new funds to speed up product development, hire more technical experts, and attract high-value clients across the region.
“Last year, I was running a podcast on interviewing young founders, but it took me 20 hours to edit a single podcast and turn it into short-form clips. This is when I got the idea and approached Ian to build an AI Video Automation Platform together,
“Now Videotto serves to level the playing field for creators globally, redefining how content is produced at scale and making professional video creation accessible to everyone, from individual creators to global brands,” said Tay Yao Ming, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Videotto
Videotto was started by two 18-year-old founders, Tay Yao Ming and Ian Lee (Co-founder and CTO). The idea came from their frustration with how complicated traditional video editing tools can be.
Videotto uses artificial intelligence (AI) to make video editing fast and easy. Instead of spending hours manually cutting clips or adding effects, users can upload their videos, and the system does the hard work automatically.
The platform picks the best clips, adds captions, smooths transitions, adjusts sound and lighting, and arranges scenes in a natural flow. It can also create multiple short videos suited for different social media platforms.
Over time, Videotto learns each user’s editing style and preferences, helping them quickly produce high-quality, ready-to-share videos with just a few clicks.
“This investment reflects our founder-first thesis — innovation can come from anyone, regardless of age or background, as long as there is genuine passion and a problem worth solving,
“At East Ventures, we believe that AI is not just a technology but a tool to level the playing field and empower individuals like them to create meaningful impact,” said Willson Cuaca, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at East Ventures.
