RecordSetter, previously known as URDB (Universal Records Database), operates a platform for users to submit and challenge world-records via uploaded videos. The site hosts a wide range of records, from traditional athletic feats to outlandish, creative entries, and emphasizes permissive rules as long as evidence is provided. In three years the site has accumulated over 10,000 submissions from more than 50 countries and claims the largest collection of world-record videos on the Internet. Founder Dan Rollman aims to expand editorial content (including tips on setting records), pursue media deals and brand partnerships with companies like Toyota and Livestrong, and develop a community moderation beta for niche groups. The company is also in talks with production companies about a potential TV show and hopes to compete with platforms like YouTube and Break.com. Financially, RecordSetter announced a $1 million Series A to support these growth plans.
