It was odd, but my envisioned development window was about 3-4 months (planning for 6) and I had potentially high upkeep after launch ($500-$1000pm for production ready servers). I could have found a co-founder or two and funded them for that period as well. So it would have been just enough + a buffer. At least in my mind. I realize you need more runway than to just get to launch and survive 2-3 months now.
The idea is a service that could open the black box of online video content. Right now you search for something and get the whole video as a result; if it's a 3 hour long podcast you're going to be doing a lot of seeking for specific information. I want to index and enable deep visualized search through video libraries and in videos. Basically splitting videos into linguistically salient topics, keywords and entities. That would allow you to analyze and visualize content (YouTube channels, videos, etc.) to find interesting information. Good for researchers and people looking for something specific, or people wanting to find new content (relationship graphs).
