MARKDOWNSTL Studio makes pitch videos and founder films for St. Louis startups. A pitch video is usually 60 to 120 seconds, built for an accelerator, grant, or investor application. A founder film runs 3 to 12 minutes and tells the story behind the company. Both are planned, shot, and edited at 1226 Olive St.
What a strong pitch video does
Accelerator, grant, and investor applications often ask for a short founder video, and reviewers watch a lot of them. The ones that work get to the point fast and make the team believable.
- The problem, in one sentence
- Before any logo or music. If a reviewer stops at ten seconds, they still know what you do.
- Proof you've started
- A real demo, a real customer, or real numbers on screen, not a list of plans.
- The team, on camera
- Reviewers are backing people. They should hear from the founders directly.
- One clear ask
- What you're applying for and why now.
Founder films
A founder film is the longer story: why you started, what you're building, and what it costs you. It works for fundraising, recruiting, and the About page, and it gives you clips to use for a year.
