Postudio, a cloud-based post-production software company, has raised $1 million in pre-seed funding led by Audacity VC, a venture capital firm focused on media-tech. This funding milestone comes as Postudio achieves over $1 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) within just two years of its launch.
The funds will be used to scale operations, develop new AI and Gen AI features, expand the team, and prepare for a U.S. market launch in late 2025.
Who is the Founders of Postudio
Founded by industry veterans Dhawal Gusain and Harish Prabhu, Postudio is revolutionizing the post-production process with its web-based platform. The platform offers creators unmatched flexibility, scalability, and affordability. It has become a popular choice among media enterprises and independent production houses in India, enabling remote collaboration and cost-effective workflows.
“We’ve grown rapidly in India’s enterprise market by being capital-efficient. We aim to maintain this growth as we expand into the U.S. market later this year,” said Dhawal Gusain, Co-founder of Postudio.
AI Integration for Smarter Workflows
Postudio’s platform supports essential post-production tasks like virtual editing, real-time collaboration, and seamless data transfer from cameras to editing tools. The company is now focusing on integrating advanced AI and Gen AI features. A beta version of its AI-driven content localization tool has already received positive feedback from clients.
Co-founder Harish Prabhu explained, “Our goal is to make post-production smarter and faster. With AI and Gen AI workflows, we’re helping creators streamline processes and deliver high-quality content efficiently.”
Cost-Effective Cloud Solutions
Postudio’s cloud-based technology is quickly gaining popularity among media enterprises. Unlike traditional on-premise studios, Postudio’s platform provides agility, security, and affordability. Clients have reported saving 20-40% on costs by switching to this cloud-based solution.
Kabir Kochhar, Founder of Audacity VC, expressed confidence in Postudio’s growth. “Postudio has found its product-market fit and is scaling rapidly. With the rising demand for AI-enabled, cloud-based solutions, Postudio is well-positioned for long-term success,” he said.
Tapping Into a Growing Market
The global post-production market, valued at $30 billion, is expected to exceed $50 billion by 2030. Postudio is poised to capture a significant share of this growing market with its comprehensive cloud-based platform that addresses all post-production workflows.
With plans to launch in the U.S. market and integrate advanced AI tools, Postudio is on track to become a leader in the post-production industry. The company’s innovative solutions are set to redefine how creators work, making post-production more efficient and cost-effective.
