I've seen Kapwing on HN repeatedly, and I've been convinced they're very successful. Still no idea what their product is, though.
It almost seems like a pre-planned acqui-hire play, where they build up a reputation for the entrepreneurs, not the product itself.

- justswim 9y agoI'm Eric, the other cofounder at Kapwing! Our product vision for now is an online video editor (think iMovie in the browser). We're definitely not a pre-planned acqui-hire play haha. We're completely bootstrapped and just trying to build a website that can pay our bills and make money so we don't have to go back to the corporate grind. We would love to build a reputation for the product but it's hard and takes time. For now, we just wanted to share about our startup experiences along the way! The video editor itself might not be too relevant for the HN community but I think our startup learning lessons definitely can be.
