You know your startup needs an explainer video.
Every advisor says so.
Every competitor has one.
Your landing page bounce rate keeps reminding you.
So you start looking.
Agencies want $8,000 to $25,000 and 6 to 12 weeks.
For a 60-second video.
You haven't even finalized your positioning yet.
$8,000-$25,000 agency cost for a 60-second explainer
6-12 weeks from creative brief to final delivery
3+ revision rounds of "can we try a different voiceover?"
Outdated by next pivot startups change faster than agencies deliver
Every week without a clear explainer is another week prospects bounce off your homepage without understanding what you do.
From "just read the pitch deck" to "wait, who made this video?"
The Old Way
Before ngram
- Your homepage has a paragraph that tries to explain what you do. Visitors read half of it. Most leave.
- You've tried sending your pitch deck to prospects. Some open it. Few finish it. None share it with their team.
- When someone asks "so what does your startup actually do?" you give a different answer every time. Not because you don't know, but because it's hard to get the story right in words alone.
The ngram Way
After ngram
- You paste your landing page URL into ngram. Twenty minutes later: a 60-second explainer with a clear narrative arc, professional visuals, branded motion graphics, and a voiceover that sounds like you hired a production team.
- You put it on your homepage. Time-on-page doubles. Your investor sends it to two other partners. A prospect emails back: "Finally, I get it."
- When your product pivots next month, you update the explainer in 10 minutes. Not 10 weeks.

Professional explainers from what you already have
Ngram takes whatever you've got - your pitch deck, product docs, landing page URL, or a rough screen recording - and builds a startup explainer video that tells a clear story.
1
Start from your existing content
Drop in your pitch deck, product brief, landing page URL, or feature doc. Ngram extracts the key message, writes a script with a clear problem-solution-proof structure, and generates a complete explainer with visuals, motion graphics, and voiceover. You review the storyboard before anything renders, so you nail the narrative without touching a timeline.
2
Or start from a screen recording
Record a quick walkthrough of your product. Ngram cleans it up with smart zooms, auto-cuts the dead air, adds branded captions and callouts, and layers in motion graphics to tell a cohesive story. Your rough capture becomes a polished explainer in minutes.
Most popular
Either way, you get a video that makes your startup look like it has a production budget. Because now, it kind of does.
