Origin Story

By Jon Yongfook

The Problem

Noticed that generating social media images manually was tedious and repetitive, especially for businesses that needed hundreds of variations.

Building It

Built as one of 12 startups in 2019. Focused on it full-time when it showed the most traction. Grew to $600K+ ARR.

First Customer

Early API users started automating thousands of images per month, proving the product solved a real pain point at scale.

What It Means

Repositioned from a 'nice-to-have' (vitamin) to a 'must-have' (painkiller) by focusing on API users who needed automation.

The Dream

To be the default image and video generation API for any automated visual workflow.
