Backed by Y Combinator
Finished video ads by day 5. No prompts. No creators.
We write the ads and make them. You approve the direction before anything is produced.
- First finished batch on day 5
- About 25 finished ads a week after that
- Make more than you pay us in 90 days, or pay nothing
Pick a time. On the 30-minute call we map three ad angles for your next test. Yours to keep. No payment.
What usually happens
You did the work. You still do not have an ad.
People land here from two places. A tool that asked them to write the prompt. Or a roster that asked them to manage the creator. Both leave you without something you can run.
- The tool
- You wrote the prompt. The clip dies partway through. Extending it costs more credits, and the join looks wrong.
- The meter
- The credits hit zero, or one clip used most of the month, and you are still holding a draft.
- The file
- The videos that sold the tool look like a person. The file it gave you does not.
- The brief
- You said what you wanted. It added banners, broke the last scene, or ignored the note.
- The scene
- The commercial cannot hold. The car, the product, or the room stops behaving.
- The creator
- The date passed. The file is not there.
- The desk
- Your notes go to support. You cannot talk to the person in the ad.
- The pile
- You paid, then you spent the week sifting faces.
- The job
- You do not want another tool. You do not want another roster. You want the ads.
We write them. We make them. You approve the direction first.
Why it works this time
Every ad passes The Scroll Test before you see it.
A tool hands you a generator and leaves the writing, the fixing, and the judging with you. A roster hands you a person and leaves the managing with you. Either way, the only one responsible for whether the ad is any good is you.
With us, one team owns the whole job, and nothing reaches you until a person on our team has watched it the way a stranger would in their feed. They ask two questions.
- Would I stop scrolling for this?
- Does anything about it look like AI?
If it would not stop you, or something looks off, it goes back. You only see the ads that pass.
What we do
Here’s what we do.
First, you send us the product, who it is for, and what the ads need to do. About 20 minutes. Whatever brand assets you already have.
Next, we write the angles, hooks, scripts, and visual approach for the first batch. You get that in writing within 48 hours. You approve it before anything is produced.
Then we make the ads. Talking head, commercial, or a character. Every ad goes through The Scroll Test before you see it. The first finished batch lands on day 5. After that, finished ads come every week.

What we make
Three kinds of ads. One team.
Same studio. You approve the direction. We pick the format per angle.
01.Talking head
Testimonial-style ads, without hiring creators.
Phone-native, straight to camera, built around your actual product. A face that holds up. A voice that sounds like a person in a room.
- Hooks and angles in volume, ready to test
- No creator sourcing, shipping, or usage-rights back and forth
- Your product still looks like your product
02.Character
Characters and stories people stop for.
Original characters, real story beats, a twist worth watching to the end. Roughly half of what we make is character animation, because it explains a product without a feature list.
- Original characters built for your brand
- Works for products that are hard to film
- Story first, product second, CTA last
03.Commercial
A produced commercial, without the production.
Scenes, sets, and product shots that would take a crew, made with AI and finished by our team.
- Real-world scenes and product close-ups
- Simple concepts that land in the first two seconds
- Cut for every placement

Why we built this.
Most companies do not stall on paid social because they run out of ideas. They run out of creative to test. An agency round takes weeks and lands a handful of ads. Software hands you a demo reel and leaves the real work with you.
So we built a studio around one thing: finished ads that belong in the feed, talking-head or animated, in the volume it takes to find winners. Concept, script, voice, edit, and render, delivered every week. No per-creative charges, no annual contract, and you keep everything we make.
If the ads do not make you more than you pay us in the first 90 days, you pay nothing. That is the whole pitch.

The guarantee
Make more than you pay us in 90 days, or pay nothing.

The details, answered.
The rest is a 30-minute call. No payment, no commitment.
How does “make more than you pay us, or you pay nothing” work?
If the ads have not earned you more than you paid us in the first 90 days, cancel by email and 100% of what you paid is refunded within 10 business days. The refund is contingent on the terms and conditions set out in our agreement, which we put in writing before production starts, and those terms must be met for the refund to apply. No deductions for work delivered, and you keep every finished ad. Media spend stays yours either way.
Live action or animated?
Both. Roughly half the ads we make are character animation, the rest are UGC-style and live-action with a real-sounding voice. We pick the style per angle and you approve the direction before production.
What counts toward the weekly number?
Finished assets. Each approved variant counts as one. Drafts, re-exports, minor revisions, and corrections never do. New concepts beyond the approved brief only count once you agree the slot in writing.
What is included, and what is not?
Concept, script, production, edit, sound, and render, plus cleared rights to music, stock, and generated content. Media spend is always yours. Ad-account management is scoped separately.
Who is this for, and who is it not for?
B2B and B2C companies running paid social, or ready to start within the month, that need more creative to test. Our clients range from B2B SaaS and cybersecurity to productized health. If you need one hero film rather than creative to test, email us and we will say so.
Do I have to write prompts or manage creators?
No. That is the job you are handing us. You send the product and approve the direction. We write the ads and make them.
P.S.
The short version.
We write your video ads and make them. You approve the direction first. The first finished batch lands on day 5, about 25 a week after that, and every one passes The Scroll Test before you see it. If they don’t make you more than you pay us in 90 days, you pay nothing.
The alternative is another month of prompts, credits, and creator follow-ups, while the ads you already have keep wearing out.
Start with the call. 30 minutes, free, and you leave with three angles for your next test either way.
