Videotto, a Singapore-based AI-native video editing solutions startup, has secured an undisclosed amount of seed funding from East Ventures.
The startup will use the capital to accelerate product development, expand technical talent, and aggressively acquire high-value clients across the region.
Videotto was founded by two 18-year-old entrepreneurs, Tay Yao Ming (CEO) and Ian Lee (CTO).

It was born out of the founders’ personal frustration with the complexity of traditional video editing tools. “Last year, I was running a podcast on interviewing young founders, but it took me 20 hours to edit a single podcast and turn it into short-form clips. This is when I got the idea and approached Ian to build an AI video automation platform together,” said Yao Ming.
“Now Videotto serves to level the playing field for creators globally, redefining how content is produced at scale and making professional video creation accessible to everyone, from individual creators to global brands,” he added.
Videotto is an AI Agent that helps livestreamers, creators, and agencies turn long videos into a constant stream of short, engaging clips, creating x100 times efficiency for a video editor.
Instead of spending hours cutting clips or adding effects manually, users can upload their video footage and let the system do the heavy lifting. The platform automatically selects the best moments, adds stylish captions, arranges scenes smoothly, adjusts sound and lighting, and even transitions.
Videotto can also generate multiple short videos optimised for different social media platforms, helping users instantly tailor their content for each channel. Over time, the platform learns each user’s editing style and preferences, making it easier to produce polished, ready-to-share videos with just a few clicks.
