East Ventures backs seed round for SG AI video startup Videotto

Videotto, a Singapore-based startup developing AI-powered video editing tools, has raised seed funding from East Ventures.

The amount was not disclosed.

Founded by 18-year-olds Tay Yao Ming and Ian Lee, the company aims to address challenges with traditional video editing through automation.

Its platform uses AI to select video highlights, add captions, and optimize clips for different social media platforms.

Videotto plans to publicly demonstrate its product for the first time at Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) 2025, held from October 29 to 31.

The new funding will support product development and team growth.

🧠 Food for thought

Implications, context, and why it matters.

Videotto corporate status and pending details

  • Videotto Pte. Ltd.’s Terms of Service took effect on January 16, 2025 1. That date covers the terms, not the incorporation. Public sources list a 2025 incorporation and omit the exact day 2.
  • Operations fall under Singapore oversight by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) 3. ACRA keeps the official records for paid-up capital, defined as money contributed by shareholders. It also records shareholder structure and serves as the authority on any stake sizes.
  • Both founders are 18. The company likely has a short operating history. East Ventures made an undisclosed investment, which signals early validation.

SWITCH 2025 gives AI video tool vendors a focused chance to meet Videotto

  • Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) 2025 runs October 29–31 at Marina Bay Sands 4. Over 400 speakers and more than 300 startups will be there 4. Enterprise video platforms, cloud providers, and media tech teams can meet Videotto during its planned demo at the show.
  • The program centers on digital tech 4. That fit can spark integration talks with broadcast tools and creator software. Check SWITCH’s official channels for exhibitor lists before outreach.
  • Early-stage investors can use the SLINGSHOT pitching competition with 60 deep tech startups for comparison 5. Videotto has not been named as a participant.
