How video technology startup Clipchamp went from 100,000 users to 3.5 million in just 18 months

A video technology startup that launched in 2014 has clocked in a massive milestone of gaining 3.5 million users over 18 months, and is continuing to skyrocket its user growth.

Clipchamp is a Queensland-based startup that spruiks itself as being one of the few companies in the world that provide full-blown video conversion, compression, and recording in-browser via HTML5.

Co-founder Alexander Dreiling explains that most available online video services use a cloud-backed system, meaning users have to upload videos to the cloud before the browser fetches them for playback. He says this excludes 90% of the world thanks to many users having sluggish upload speed, making Clipchamp’s solution a popular one.

The startup has four founders in total, including Dreiling, Dave Hewitt, Tobi Raub, and Soeren Balko. It was officially established in 2012, but it wasn’t until 2014 that the founders started rolling out the first version of the Clipchamp platform. Read more
