How did the entrepreneurial bug bite you?
So far, I worked on video advertising space. It gives me better understanding about video technology. That makes me to start a startup on video / media space and most of my friends make short films and they really don’t know how to reach film festival events. That’s the place I started pitch in our startup shortfundly.
While talking to film makers they keep asking about, should I pay money to use your platform? we simply said, we act like Facebook platform. So, you no need to pay anything for sharing content and connecting with upcoming filmmakers. This question make them feel hesitate to start using our platform shortfundly.
One more thing, they have doubts on content rights. They ask about who’s going to take care of short film content rights either a creator or shortfundly. We simply answer them like, if you put your content in YouTube and simply publishing in our platform. So, you have all the rights to hold that content rights. Shortfundly won’t take content rights.
