Introduction

AdLaunch is an easy way to create promotional videos. We combine AI powered video generation technology with high quality curated content.

Since our last funding round we have successfully launched our video creation service, gaining over 3,000 users from 99 countries worldwide. This shows that there is strong growing need for easy digital video creation.

Our vision is to become the easiest way for businesses to create good quality video ads for social media. AdLaunch combines patent pending AI powered video generation technology, with curated good quality stock footage, photos and music.

Adlaunch video generation.006

By 2019, 80% of all internet traffic will be in video format (Cisco). Naturally, a large portion of this content is expected to be commercial marketing videos.

Intended impact

AdLaunch has received £145 000 in state subsidised R&D loan funding to further develop its AI powered video generation technology and grow its marketing in the United States and United Kingdom.

We will use the proceeds to hire two software developers to accelerate our product development, license 10,000 video stock footage library and scale our Google Ads and Facebook advertising.

Adlaunch users globally

We aim to have 10,000 users by July 2019.
