After seeing the success of Figma, Miro, and other real-time collaboration tools, I was wondering how long it would before an enterprising team developed the same experience for video editing. A simple-but-powerful enough video editor is a need I've regularly experienced over the years at my startup. Adding on collaboration workflows and cloud-native files (instead of storing actual file versions in Dropbox) makes this even more interesting. Will check it out. Good luck with the launch and the rest of YC!

Quick follow up: Do you have any details on plans for pricing or a terms of service I can read?
Not yet, I'm afraid... we'll be free while we're in beta (which could easily be a couple more months). From there we'll keep a free tier, and introduce paid individual plans and a team plan.
I personally find lack of pricing a big barrier of entry for products I'm even willing to evaluate. Even if there's a good chance they'll be free for my use case.

I definitely understand how hard pricing is, but I think you'd be much better off taking a stab at something than leaving it completely empty.

The most fair/honest strategy in my opinion is to set some pricing in there, and grandfathering people at this price point. It gives you plenty of room to change pricing later without upsetting your early adopters (who can also be your best marketing channel).

Just my 2 cents as a co-founder of a company that introduced paid plans pretty much from day one.
