The new media distribution company

Bluma is the first AI short form content engine. In a post-AI world, attention is the most valuable commodity. Social media is only growing faster and faster, and we're still early. We automate your entire consumer marketing strategy with content templates, generating on brand videos on autopilot. Everything that a growth team would plan, script, produce, and edit, Bluma automates end-to-end and at scale. We can make entire UGC videos from a reference at 10x the scale and 1/10th of the cost. We remove the operations of hiring, managing, creatives and spend with AI.

Hey all - this is Alisa and Stephen from Bluma!

Problem

If you’re building in consumer, you know that it is super hard to get eyes on your product.

In a post-AI world, attention is the most valuable commodity. Social media is only growing faster and faster, and we're still early.

Short form has a high barrier of entry due to cost (UGC costs $35/video + $1 CPM, editors are $50/video) and operations as shown below:

Solution

Instead of manually assembling a video in CapCut, Bluma works like this:

  1. Create template format by chatting with AI
  2. Generate videos on autopilot
  3. Push traffic to product/service

Our biggest client runs 8 templates across 16 accounts, posting 2x daily. Bluma is growing 100% w/w and went from 0 to 28k MRR in 4 weeks.

Using templates, we can replicate proven formats and A/B test scripts for you cheaper, faster and more scalable than human creators (UGC, editors).

Our Vision

Make video effortless and accessible to anyone through (video automation) templates.

Team

Alisa was the youngest engineer at 19 working on self-driving at Zoox. Stephen scaled payment infrastructure to millions at Shopify. Having generated over 6.7M views and been featured on New York Times, we have taste for scalable virality.

We met 3 years ago when we snuck into the Collision Tech Conference and spent the entire summer building in WeWork offices before both heading into the University of Waterloo. Dropped out and planned to bootstrap until we applied 21 days late and went into YC F25.
