Discovering a golden opportunity 💡

According to Merwane Drai (Via TechCrunch), their initial focus was on creating a video search engine. However, approximately six months ago, the team had a realization that repurposing their developed AI models for video editing could result in a superior product.

Welcome to Dumme 🏪

Dumme is an Ai software that allows you to turn long form content into short form content such as Youtube Shorts and TikTok's. They were included in the Y Combinator winter batch of 2022. You might be thinking, another Ai software? Listen, Dumme can save substantial amounts of editing time and help you reach a new base of users with the shorts they create for you.

How profitable is Dumme 💵 ?

The proposed pricing structure includes different tiers for customers. Businesses will be charged at a rate of $0.40 per minute for the video processing service. On the other hand, smaller creators have the option to choose a monthly subscription plan, which limits the content processing to 10 hours per month. I don’t expect this to last as with their user base waitlist growing, Dumme will change their pricing structure to increase their profit margins, or go to a fully paid software.

What is the growth potential of this business 🌎?

With Youtube shorts quickly on the rise and competitor TikTok establishing itself as one of the most popular apps in the world, Dumme has set themself up for success with the right funding and leadership. They currently have a wait list of 20,000+ people and the only way that you can gain access is using a referral link. Boosting their infrastructure can cut this waitlist and let people experience what they have to offer. Once this is done, the word of mouth and social media marketing will take care of itself, as everybody nowadays wants to build their personal brand and have these short form videos available to their audience.

Where are they in the funding process💱?

The Ai rush has taken over venture capital, Dumme has raised $3.4 million so far through a seed and a pre-seed round. They’re backed by Y Combinator, Caffeinated Capital, Protocol Labs, SciFi VC, and angels Chris Puscasiu, Nicco Chinot, and Suhail Doshi. With so many Ai companies being funded, this raises the question, with Dumme Ai survive this impulse funding rush? or will investor money be wasted 🗑️?
