Cloud-based post-production software startup Postudio raises $1 million in a pre-Seed round

Cloud-based post-production software startup Postudio announced that it has raised $1 million in a pre-seed funding round led by media-tech focused venture capital firm Audacity Venture Capital.

In addition to funding, the startup also said that it crossed a milestone of $1 million ARR within two years of its launch and plans to double the revenues in 2025 on the back of growing demand for remote collaboration.

The new capital will be used for rapid scale-up, product development and expansion of the team, the release notes.

Revolutionizing the post-production industry

Founded by media veterans Dhawal Gusain and Harish Prabhu, Postudio is revolutionizing the post-production industry with its web-based platform that provides unprecedented flexibility, scalability and affordability to creators.

“We’ve scaled quickly in the Indian enterprise segment in a very capital-efficient manner. In 2025, we plan to sustain this momentum and expand into the U.S. market in the second half of this year," said Dhawal Gusain.

Co-founder Harish Prabhu, added, "At Postudio, our goal has always been to empower creative teams with tools that simplify and enhance their post-production workflows. Our platform already supports key processes like virtual editing, real-time collaboration, and seamless camera-to-edit data transfer."

"We're now doubling down on innovation, integrating cutting-edge AI and Gen AI workflows to redefine post-production. For instance, our AI-driven content localization tool, currently in beta testing with clients, has received promising feedback. With an ambitious roadmap for 2025, we’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in cloud-based post-production," Prabhu added.

Expanding presence globally

Postudio is now set to expand its reach globally with a plan to launch in the US market in H2 2025. 

The startup claims that it is witnessing rapid adoption among media enterprises as well as independent production houses in India.

“Postudio has found its product-market fit and is scaling rapidly. We are optimistic about the company’s future, thanks to the founders’ industry expertise and the perfect timing of their offerings. With the growing demand for scalable, AI-enabled, cloud-based solutions, we believe Postudio is poised for success, and we’re committed to supporting them throughout their journey,” said Kabir Kochhar, Founder of Audacity Venture Capital.

The global post- production market, currently valued at $30 billion, is projected to surpass $50 billion by 2030, it said.
