“I recorded myself pitching over my deck. It looks like a hostage video.”
- Sunday 8pm
Decide to ship the pitch video for Monday's outreach blast. Open Loom, hit record, talk through twelve deck slides for eight minutes. Watch the playback. Hear yourself say 'umm' fourteen times. Re-record. Hear it again. Bin the file.
- Sunday 11pm
Try iMovie. Spend an hour fighting audio levels and transitions that look like a Keynote export from 2005. The cursor visibly fumbles a slide change at minute three. Realize you have re-recorded the deck walkthrough four times and still hate every cut.
- Monday morning
Email three video agencies for quotes. Lowest comes back at $4,200 for 90 seconds, six week timeline. The fundraise opens in ten days. Even if the budget worked, the MRR number you would script in will be different by the time they deliver.
- Monday 2pm
Send 50 cold-outreach emails with the PDF attached. Some investors open it. Most do not reply. The ones who do want to schedule a 'quick chat to learn the basics' — the deck did not sell them, it just qualified you for another generic intro call.
- +3 weeks
Same fundraise, no momentum. Five meetings booked, no traction. The partners who replied are running the same pattern with twenty other decks this week. Nothing in the inbox carries your voice or the product motion — just slides and a one-line subject.
- +8 weeks
Bridge round time. The angels who would have led now ask 'remind me what you do.' Every conversation starts from zero context. The fundraise drags because no founder voice ever landed in the inbox to begin with.
of viewers retain more information from a 90 second video than from the equivalent text or static deck — yet most pre-seed founders pitch with a PDF that lands in inboxes alongside thirty others that look the same.
“And the deck got skimmed in 2.5 minutes alongside twenty others that morning.”
From "another deck in the inbox" to "I watched this three times"
You email 50 investors with a 12 slide PDF. The deck lands in inboxes next to twenty others that look identical — same problem-solution-market-traction-team-ask shape, same generic template, no voice, no product motion. Investor spends 2.5 minutes skimming, files it, and either replies asking for a 'quick chat' or never replies at all.
Same fundraise. You spend an afternoon recording a raw walkthrough of the product while narrating the pitch. Drop it into ngram. Get back a 90 second founder pitch video with clean cuts, smart zooms on the traction chart, captions for the partner watching between calls, and your brand throughout. Embed it in cold outreach.
The DIY Loom takes a full weekend. Eight minutes of uneven audio, visible cursor fumbling, a section where you lost your train of thought for twelve seconds, and a re-record that still has a tab open with someone else's company on it. You watch it back, close the tab, and send the PDF anyway because nothing beats nothing.
The first take takes 20 minutes. ngram cuts the dead air, removes the umms, smart-zooms on every metric you reference, and applies the brand kit. The 90 second cut reads like an associate at a top firm produced it. Investors open the email, click play, watch the whole thing, and one partner forwards it with a note saying 'watch this before Monday's meeting.'
When MRR jumps 40 percent mid-fundraise, you cannot update the agency cut without filing a new brief and paying another invoice. The video on your data room shows last month's numbers. New investors get the stale story; you re-explain the current number on every first call.
MRR jumps 40 percent. You update the traction scene in five minutes and re-export. Every investor in the active pipeline gets the latest numbers without a fresh round of outreach copy. The conversation starts warm because the pitch video pre-sold the trajectory before the partner meeting opened.
Founder pitch videos from what you already have
Bring a deck walkthrough or any combination of footage you already filmed. ngram turns either into a polished founder pitch video with the same smart zooms, captions, and brand polish.
Record your pitch once
Walk through your deck while demoing the product. Hit the problem in the first ten seconds, demo the solution by 30, share traction by 60. Mistakes and pauses fine. ngram trims the umms, smart-zooms on every metric, and applies the brand. Your authentic energy lands without the rough edges.
Screen Recording to VideoOr combine existing assets
Already have product footage, customer quote clips, or a metrics screen recording? Drop them all in. ngram builds a cohesive pitch narrative with branded transitions, captions, and your colors. Multiple assets become one founder pitch video investors watch to the end.
PPT to VideoOne founder pitch video
60 to 90 seconds for cold outreach, 2 to 3 minutes for warm follow-up. Smart zoom on every metric. Captions for the partner in the airport.
Already have a polished demo from the homepage? Reuse the same footage as scene three — the pitch video and the marketing video pull from the same source library.
What changes when founder pitch video takes an afternoon
You stop blending into the inbox
Top benefitInvestors see hundreds of decks. Video carries the founder voice, the product motion, and the proof in a way no PDF can. When yours is the one cut they actually watch, you become the founder they remember at Monday's partner meeting.
Viewers retain substantially more information from a 90 second pitch video than from the equivalent deck. The retention gap is why partners forward video pitches to colleagues — the cut keeps reselling after the original email lands.
Metrics stay current through the raise
Fundraising drags. MRR climbs. The cap goes up. When updating the founder pitch video takes five minutes instead of a fresh agency project, every investor in the active pipeline gets your latest numbers without a per-investor recut.
Runway stays in the product
Every $5,000 spent on agency pitch production is $5,000 not spent on engineering. When the founder pitch video costs an afternoon instead of an invoice, the capital that should move the company forward stays where it belongs.

Built for founder pitch video, specifically
Who ships founder pitch videos with ngram?
Founders
Solo and small-team founders use ngram to ship the cold-outreach pitch video without the agency invoice. One afternoon, a polished 90 second cut investors actually watch, embedded inside the email that opens the round.
Solopreneurs
Pre-seed solo founders use ngram as the production team they have not hired. The pitch video carries the founder voice into every angel inbox, doing the in-person 'why this matters' delivery at scale across 50 outreach emails.
Startups
Seed and Series A founders pair the pitch video with the monthly investor update so the cap table sees compounding context. Same source recording style; one cut for the round, another for the monthly cadence.
Product Marketing
PMM hires who help shape the pitch script work with the founder to build the cut in a single afternoon. The deck walkthrough source recording also produces the homepage marketing video — one library, two audiences.
SaaS
SaaS founders show product motion alongside the metrics so investors see the workflow that drives the MRR chart. Same source recording feeds the homepage demo and the cold-outreach pitch — one library, two purposes.
Fintech
Fintech founders show regulatory progress, compliance posture, and unit-economics nuance on video instead of buried in PDF appendices. Partners retain the context because video carries tone — critical when the metrics need a framing read to land right.
Developer Relations
DevRel founders ship a pitch video that demos the API or SDK in motion. Partners evaluating a dev tool need to see the developer experience — a deck describing it does not move the needle the way a 30 second integration scene does.
Customer Success
CS leaders contribute a 20 second customer renewal narrative clip to the pitch video. Partners hear directly from the buyer instead of paraphrased through a logo wall — proof that lands harder than 'we have 30 customers' in the slide format.
