Launched the Unified Creator

Before the "Creator", Kapwing was a suite of 15 distinct video editing tools. The Creator was our first effort to unify these tools into one layout and design suite for video makers. Check it out at https://www.kapwing.com/create

It was a risky endeavor that we were not sure would work. After all, how would people find or know about the Creator? Would they explore it and find the features it had to offer, or would they get lost in the more powerful toolbox? Nonetheless, we knew that we had to experiment with a more powerful product so that social media creators could transition to Kapwing from iMovie or Adobe.

It worked. In October, we grew 40% in revenue and 25% in usage. Time spent, videos created per user, and bounce rate metrics improved substantially. We rolled out the creator to Add Text, the Collage Maker, and our Meme Generator. I've realized that investing in high retention products is more important that top-of-funnel growth now that we have some money in the bank.

Blog: The importance of a cofounder

Find a cofounder before you find an idea · Kapwing Blog

Last July, I left a six-figure salary to work with a friend, Eric Lu, on starting a company. It didn't work. We had to try out multiple ideas before we found one that stuck. Now that we’re running a thriving startup, Eric and I both know that we wouldn’t have been able to start Kapwing without the other. In this post, I’ll share my thoughts on finding a cofounder for people considering the tradeoffs of starting a company solo or looking for a partner.
