Social media is only growing faster and faster, and we're still early.\n\nShort 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:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=95662\u0026key=user_uploads/2724981/ade8a7fd-4114-4164-ae5c-f0b389922684)\n\n**Solution**\n\nInstead of manually assembling a video in CapCut, Bluma works like this:\n\n1. Create template format by chatting with AI\n2. Generate videos on autopilot\n3. Push traffic to product/service\n\nOur 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.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=95662\u0026key=user_uploads/2724981/c5fd4e08-2eb3-4c12-80ea-bcf74db92c92)\n\nUsing templates, we can replicate proven formats and A/B test scripts for you cheaper, faster and more scalable than human creators (UGC, editors).\\\n\\\n**Our Vision**\n\nMake video effortless and accessible to anyone through (video automation) templates.\n\n**Team**\n\nAlisa 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.\n\nWe 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.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=95662\u0026key=user_uploads/2724981/cc17438d-9b2f-46a2-8827-2d2f96863dba)\n\n**Our Ask**\\\nIf you’re looking to start or scale your editing pipeline with templates, contact us at https://getbluma.com/book-a-call\n\nWarm intros to your cap table investors in the video or marketing space!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=95662\u0026key=user_uploads/2724981/7db5999c-dddc-41ca-95f1-31c39b7889af)\n\n","slug":"Osw-bluma-the-ai-short-form-content-engine","created_at":"2025-11-20T18:51:47.338Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T02:20:43.045Z","total_vote_count":27,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Osw-bluma-the-ai-short-form-content-engine","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=95662\u0026key=user_uploads/2724981/7db5999c-dddc-41ca-95f1-31c39b7889af","company":{"id":30989,"name":"Bluma","slug":"bluma","url":"https://www.getbluma.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/2fb4b30a87ff49eecaaa2a8e93e689ddecfde446.png","batch":"Fall 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":["B2B","Social Media","Video","Marketing","Advertising"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30989"}}
