How much did your final product change from your initial vision?

The core idea of the short looped videos did not changed at all. But the way people used it changed a lot. We provided the simple creative tool and our users created a lot of new formats using it: video mashups, diy music videos, quotes in news sites.

We have a great creative community that produces a lot of great content, our goal is to show this content to everyone. We will improve our creation tools and work with our core users to understand their needs. And we also will improve the ways it could be shared in social networks, messengers, media sites etc to help our content spread everywhere.

Did your team have a technical co-founder when you guys applied to YC?

Of course. When we started making projects together, Anton was a designer and I was a programmer.

The monthly viewership figures (50m viewers, 500m views) are interesting, I've never heard of Coub before. Are there places we might have seen a Coub and not realised it, do you have integrations with other services, or are all your views driven through your website (from social media?)? Thanks!
