VEED.io
Browser-based video editing platform for creators and teams — bootstrapped to $8M+ ARR before raising a Series A, with zero help from YC.
/ STORY
Sabba Keynejad and Tim Darby applied to YC and were rejected. They kept building VEED.io anyway.
VEED grew to millions of users through organic search and product-led growth. Raised a $35M Series A in 2022 — entirely on their own terms, with the YC rejection well behind them.
