Angled

Drop everyone's phone clips in; get a synced event recap.

Should you build this?Don't build

CrowdCam already sells crowdsourced multi-angle event reels, so the core job exists.

The problem

Event organisers rarely have time to collect, sync and cut the many phone clips attendees film.

Single-angle reels often get posted days late or not at all, and freelance editors charge from $30 to $109+ on Fiverr or roughly ₹3K–15K per reel in India. Student clubs and hackathon teams either pay that cost or go without.

The idea

Angled takes attendees' phone clips through one link and returns a synced multi-angle recap plus a credited personal cut for each contributor.

1Attendees join the event link or scan the venue QR code.
2They upload their original phone videos with consent and a display name.
3Organisers get a recap reel and personal cuts, ready to share.

Price: ₹1,499 per event for up to 40 contributors, one 60-second 9:16 recap and one 16:9 cut. ₹4,999 for multi-day fests with unlimited contributors, a sponsor-logo cut and a per-contributor credited cut. Pay per event via UPI or Razorpay. A ₹3,999/month plan for clubs and DevRel teams running 3+ events a month comes later, once repeat usage is proven.

Check 3 · Already exists

CrowdCam (crowdcam.ai) already does the core job: it collects attendee clips at events and auto-edits multi-angle highlight reels. Meddly, CrowdClip and Vloggi cover the multi-phone sync and per-attendee-cut parts. Angled's wedge is mostly India pricing, UPI and WhatsApp, which is distribution rather than a product capability these tools lack.

Who paysThe organiser pays. That means the club or fest media lead, the hackathon organising team, or the community DevRel manager, using the event or sponsor budget. Typical spend is ₹1,499–4,999 per event, paid by UPI or card.

Who uses itOrganisers of hackathons, college fests and club events in India (GDG on Campus chapters, Takshila-style tech clubs, Superteam-style communities) and DevRel people running meetups. A second group is small creator collectives who film the same shoot from several phones.

First 10 usersAdarsh already sits in the hackathon and club circuit. (1) Run Angled free at 2–3 events he attends himself and post the before/after reel on X and LinkedIn tagged to the organisers, which makes the organisers the first buyers. (2) DM 30 GDG on Campus and Takshila-style club leads and hackathon organisers he knows, offering a free recap for their next event in exchange for a testimonial and a referral. (3) Post a 'send me your raw event clips, I'll send back a multi-angle cut' thread to his ~750 X and ~1.5k LinkedIn followers. (4) Ask DevRel contacts to run it at a meetup, where sponsors want a recap to show for their spend. Target: 10 paid events within about 8 weeks, starting with 3 free pilots.

Why not just AIThe value is aggregation and coordination across many people, which an organiser's own agent can't do. An agent can't collect 40 clips from 40 attendees' phones, can't get their consent to use the footage, and can't credit each contributor. A single-user agent can edit clips it already has. It can't run the QR/join-link flow at the venue, chase contributors on WhatsApp, or settle disputes over whose clip is used. A shared event link that collects, syncs, credits and distributes is what an organiser can't build themselves in the 48 hours after the event.

CrowdCam (crowdcam.ai)Takes attendee clips and automatically builds a multi-angle highlight reel, aimed at conferences and trade shows. · the reason it failed

[ What would make it pass ]3 steps

01
Prove Indian organisers pay ₹1,499 for recaps via UPI before building.
02
Interview 10 fest and hackathon leads on how they collect clips today.
03
Revisit only if a WhatsApp-first flow gets 40 contributors at one event.

[ Inspired by ]What it borrows, and what's different

Shot.video
Multi-phone synced recording with an AI first edit that cuts to the active camera. Shot.video is for one creator controlling all their own devices in a planned shoot. Angled handles after-the-fact footage from many people who never coordinated, and adds consent, crediting and a per-contributor cut.
CrowdCam
Collects attendee photos and videos at events and auto-edits them into multi-angle highlight reels. CrowdCam targets conferences and trade shows in the West. Angled targets India's hackathon, fest and club market, with ₹ pricing, UPI, WhatsApp-first contributor flow, and a personal credited cut for each contributor that makes attendees share the reel.
Vidio event highlight maker
Upload hours of event footage and get a highlight recap back. It assumes one uploader with all the footage. Angled's core job is the many-contributor collection and sync step, plus rewarding contributors for sending clips.
