Video Mashup Pro Reelsurfer Lands $880K From YC, Executive Producer Of The Hangover

ReelSurfer, which graduated from Y Combinator's most recent batch of startups, is a "tl;dr" for video. In other words, ReelSurfer was borne out of the frustration of trying to find quotes and scenes from their favorite movies on YouTube. Usually, these searches are fruitless. If you're lucky enough to find a video that contains the quote or clip you're looking for, you then have to download the video, convert it, clip the video around the scene, re-convert and upload it back to YouTube. But this is time-consuming and it, well, sucks. So, ReelSurfer developed technology that lets you clip any video from any website, allowing users to edit videos right from their browser simply by entering the URL on ReelSurfer's website or by using its bookmarklet. But don't let its simplicity or niche use case fool you, ReelSurfer has potential to transform everyday consumers into video creators and curators. Potential that has now been officially validated by investors, as ReelSurfer has raised $900K in seed funding to continue building out its product -- and team. Investors in the round include The Otto Group, TriplePoint Capital, Y Combinator and a number of angel investors, including William Fay, the executive producer of The Hangover, 300 and Independence Day.
