What Roll Digital builds for you.

Custom scope to take Video AI from MVP shell to operating business.

• ▸Production FastAPI backend handling parallel video inference with queue management
• ▸Multi-tenant authentication system with email and Google OAuth
• ▸Stripe subscription billing across freemium, pro, and enterprise tiers
• ▸Drag-drop video upload with auto-format conversion and progress tracking
• ▸GPU cost monitoring and inference rate limiting per user tier
• ▸Email nurture sequences driving freemium-to-paid conversion at usage limits
• ▸Social sharing UI embedding before-after clips to YouTube and TikTok

Why this could work.

Creator market is real and well-funded across video tools. Your GTM targets an underserved segment: emerging creators with budget but no in-house editor. Freemium-to-paid conversion is proven at scale. If you keep upload friction low and deliver value in the first session, retention and revenue compound. The 10k-200k follower tier has meaningful purchasing power, growth velocity, and demonstrable demand for editing speed.

What you'd risk.

CapCut dominates this segment for free with ByteDance's resources. OpenAI, Google, and Meta are shipping platform-native editing that kills demand for standalone tools. GPU inference costs are unpredictable and margin-crushing if a feature goes viral or free-tier users abuse the pipeline. Most users never complete their first edit due to upload friction and format conversion delays. The margin math only works at high utilization.

Who this fits.

An operator with prior SaaS experience, ideally some product-market fit achieved before. Comfort with technical implementation and creator community. If you're a solo founder, you need operational rigor and ability to hire. If you're an agency, the shift from services to SaaS will be steep. Best fit: existing founder with a creator network and patience for CAC payback across a free tier.
