Our Story

Built by creators who hated clipping manually

Skapo started with a simple frustration: turning a 2-hour podcast into 20 vertical clips shouldn't take a full day. We built the engine we wished existed.

Mission

Make every long-form video infinitely reusable — automatically, at GPU speed, with quality that doesn't embarrass the creator.

We're not building a clip editor. We're building an engine. One that understands speakers, finds the moments worth clipping, formats them for vertical, adds captions, and ships them — while you focus on the next recording.

How we got here

2024

Problem discovered

Manually clipping a 2-hour podcast into 20 shorts took 6 hours. We decided that was unacceptable.

Early 2025

First GPU pipeline

Built the Modal-powered backend that processes video at scale. First internal version shipped.

Mid 2025

Active speaker tracking

Added face-detection-based speaker tracking and split-screen mode for multi-guest podcasts.

Late 2025

Public launch

Opened to agencies and freelance video editors. Three tiers, real pricing, zero watermark upsell tricks.

2026

Scaling the engine

Priority queues, API access, and enterprise volume plans — building the infrastructure that serious workflows demand.

How we build

Speed First

Every second of processing time is a second creators waste waiting. We obsess over render latency and GPU throughput so you don't have to.

Quality Without Compromise

Active speaker tracking, cinematic cuts, auto-captions — done right. We'd rather ship slower and ship sharp than flood you with mediocre clips.

Transparent Roadmap

Our roadmap is public. Our changelog is honest. We build in the open and listen to the people actually using the product daily.

Bootstrapped & Independent

No VC pressure. No growth-at-all-costs. We're self-funded and accountable only to our users — which means we optimize for quality, not metrics.
