I was going to try out videopixie and noticed that it has a refer-a-friend system, like sites nowadays often do. I thought it would be cool if there was a site for exchanging these referral links.

Here's a super simple test site I just put up to test out the idea: http://refermenot.meteor.com

What do you think?


YC S11 :)

I remember geeking out with you over camera gear that summer (while I was doing something totally unrelated to video).


What kinda equipment were they excited about back then? And what kind of equipment do the typical medium-level production houses have these days? (I ask because I'm in the market myself)


People love canon dslrs for video production, although the camera parts matter a lot less IMO than audio, lighting, etc for staged product videos.


Took them a while to get that seed round - 4 years! But good on them :)


Video really is one of the hot items on the web. We’ve experienced that an Uber for moviemakers does indeed help clients to obtain the best movies, made by their preferred moviemakers. Viedit dot com is an alternative moviemakers platform that offers a unique, multilingual videography, video editing and animation service with 2,000 moviemakers from 90 countries. By putting the skills, experience and creativity of the artist at the centre of attention clients can easily find and work with the right moviemaker. The Viedit approach results in optimum matches without price pressure.


Congrats Tom! It is good to see you guys making progress, there is hope for the rest of us :)

Maybe another DC HN meetup is in order :)


Congrats Tom! Videopixie solves a real need and couldn't think of harder working or nicer people to work on it.


Great news guys! Video pixie is awesome and I know that is money well invested!


The article says founded in 2013, is that wrong?


Well done Tom and team!


Great news!
