  • Quickture

    Participated · Seed · Dec 2025

    Quickture is a Los Angeles–based provider of an AI video-editing platform that transforms hours of raw footage into clear narratives in a fraction of the usual time. The software integrates directly with Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro, allowing editors to find key moments, test alternate scenes, assemble rough cuts in minutes, and collaborate interactively. Designed for long-form, dialogue-heavy projects such as reality TV, documentaries, news, sports, and corporate videos, the platform aims to reduce costs and editor burnout while encouraging creative experimentation. In conjunction with its financing, the startup launched Quickture Vision, a visual-analysis engine that lets editors search and edit footage by what is happening on screen and automates many post-production tasks. The founding team includes CEO Irad Eyal, CPO Ron Eyal, CTO Gary Grossman, and CSO Matt Hanna. Quickture has emerged from stealth with $1.9 million in pre-seed funding, providing resources to deepen integrations with Avid and Adobe and to broaden its reach to more creators, studios, and storytellers worldwide.

The company plans to use the funding to recruit staff and pursue expansion first into the UK, which it cites for its fintech market size and role as Europe’s financial hub.
