@elie2222@levelsio Fair point
The issue imo is that MOST vc backed companies are not profitable. If you are actually profitable, as a founder, you have most of the leverage, at least in the current environment
@levelsio@elie2222 I don’t get it, ChatGPT agrees with my point.
If you’re not profitable, no way you can pay our dividends. That makes sense, why would you pay out VC investment to yourself.
But if you’re profitable, you can do share buybacks or pay out dividends, which chatgpt says in point 3
@Siron93 You’re framing of powerhouse make it seem that this is a successful app. If you have ever spoken to anyone involved in the company, you would probably not write about it. Unfortunately, this makes me question about the other apps that you’re post about.
Excited to introduce Icon, The First AI Admaker.
We’re backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund & execs of frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Pika, & Cognition.
Icon (https://t.co/RKWomrKrAu) is like ChatGPT + CapCut, but for making winning ads with AI in minutes.
How it works:
1. Icon looks at your video library & tags scenes (e.g. "close-up," "unboxing"). These scenes become reusable clips used as lego blocks for making ads.
2. Prompt Icon’s AdGPT to generate scripts focused on specific angles & audiences.
3. Icon finds perfectly matching clips for every script scene & generates an ad that is 80-99% complete.
4. Make edits with our CapCut-like video editor until you're happy.
3-person creative teams make 30 ads per month. With Icon, they make 300.
We co-built Icon with $100M+ revenue brands like Ridge, Jones Road, Immi, Backbone, & MUD\WTR to solve big pain-points:
1. Making lots of ads is extremely painful. Icon helps you automate the tedious parts of scriptwriting, scene matching, video editing, audience research, UGC creation, & more.
2. AI-generated ads look like trash. Icon remixes your existing footage into new ads, matching your production quality & maintaining brand aesthetics.
3. Existing solutions charge $2K-$30K/month for:
🔍 Competitor ad spying & cloning
📈 Creative analytics
📹 Custom & stock avatars for AI UGC
👥 Audience research
📁 Video storage & tagging
Icon does scriptwriting & video editing on top of everything above for just $999/year (their margin is our opportunity 😉).
If you’ve made it this far, we have a surprise for you 👇🏻
