# Founding Designer

About We're building the future of storytelling and video editing. We're a small team that moves fast and builds things we're proud of. We care obsessively about taste: in design, in product, in every detail. We're solving these hard problems. We're backed by a Tier-1 global fund, YC, and founders of billion dollar companies. Design Video is the most powerful way humans tell stories. It always has been. But creating it today is still painfully hard. Fragmented tools, steep learning curves, and workflows that get in the way of the actual creative work. We're building Cardboard to change that.
