Clipflow: The Content Operations OS for Video Teams

TL;DR

Content is scaling. The systems behind it aren’t.

Clipflow is your Content Operations OS — built for video teams who care about speed, structure, and consistent output.

We just raised $1M pre-seed from Antler to build this the right way — with users, from the ground up.

➡️ We’re now onboarding closed beta teams. 👉 Join the waitlist →


The Real Work Begins

A lot of content teams are quietly outgrowing their systems.

Not because they’re doing anything wrong — but because they’re doing more:

  • More videos
  • More formats
  • More channels
  • More complexity

The usual setup — Notion boards, shared folders, message threads — just starts to fall apart.

We felt it ourselves. We heard it from users. And we kept seeing the same thing:

People running production like pros, but managing it like hobbyists — because the right tools didn’t exist.

So we’re building Clipflow to change that.


🤯 The Problem

Most high-output content teams still rely on a messy mix of:

  • Notion boards for calendars
  • Google Drive folders with Final_v4_Real.mp4
  • Slack threads for feedback
  • Sheets for task tracking
  • Long email chains for approvals

This setup feels familiar — but it breaks under pressure:

  • Assets go missing or get duplicated
  • Feedback is scattered across tools
  • Editors, clients, and producers are out of sync
  • Scaling content = scaling chaos

The Real Cost?

It’s not just hours lost chasing files or syncing updates —
It’s the opportunity cost of standing still while the best teams move fast.

The top content teams are already building:

  • Long-form → short-form pipelines that auto-generate titles and captions
  • n8n flows that route videos through editors, reviewers, and into scheduling queues
  • Automated distribution across YouTube, Shorts, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram
  • AI agents that prep thumbnails, write descriptions, and run post-publish audits

That’s the frontier.

But to take advantage of it, your workflow has to be solid.
If you’re stuck managing chaos, you can’t invest in scale, leverage, or creative edge.

Too many teams are stuck just trying to keep up —
when they could be pulling ahead.


⚡ The Solution

Clipflow is a real system for running content — not just managing tasks.

It gives creators, agencies, and operators one connected space to move from idea to publish — without friction, version confusion, or tool fatigue.

✅ Production Pipelines

Track every video through ideation, editing, approvals, and distribution.

✅ Smart Asset Management

Store, version, and tag assets with rich context and publishing metadata.

✅ Modular Workflows

Build repeatable pipelines across series, clients, or formats.

✅ Creative Collaboration

Centralize briefs, comments, edits, and reviews — in one interface.

✅ Automated Assistants

Handle time-consuming tasks like show note formatting, clip tagging, and caption cleanup.


🚀 Our Raise

We’ve raised $1M in pre-seed funding from Antler for 12.5% of the company.

This gives us:

  • The runway to grow our core team
  • Space to go deep with our first users
  • Freedom to build based on workflows, not buzzwords
  • Momentum to ship our closed beta with confidence

We’re staying lean, focused, and execution-first — because the people we’re building for don’t have time to mess around.
They’re shipping real content every week.


👥 Who Clipflow is For

We’re building Clipflow for:

  • Creators managing a growing backlog of edits, assets, and posts
  • Agencies producing dozens of videos across multiple clients
  • In-house teams building content engines that actually move the brand forward
  • Anyone who knows content isn’t just creative work — it’s operational work

💬 Join the Closed Beta

We’re inviting a small group of early users to help shape the product and push it to its limits.

If you’re running a high-volume content system — or want to — we’d love to give you early access.

👉 Join the waitlist and request access to the closed beta →

We’ll show you what we’re working on, listen closely, and build Clipflow with you — not just for you.


Let’s make content systems that keep up with the creators behind them.
