Notable quotes
Generation is commoditizing. The loop is not. The data layer is the moat.
— Rob Runyon, Founder
Eighty creators told me 3 hours 15 minutes per video. Same number across niches. That is structural, not personal. Different shape of workflow is the only fix.
— Rob Runyon, Founder
Eleven weeks ago I had a blank Figma file. Today there are 5,200 creators on the waitlist. The structural number was the unlock.
— Rob Runyon, Founder
