Case Study: Sendspark

0:00

Mux has enabled us to move five times faster.

0:02

We were able to get our

0:04

first version of the product off the ground

0:05

super quickly, in just about a month.

0:08

I'm Bethany

0:09

I'm the co-founder and

0:10

CEO of Sendspark.

0:11

With Sendspark, our customers can create

0:15

videos of themselves or their products.

0:17

And then they can send those videos

0:19

out to customers in any of the

0:20

business communication channels

0:22

they're already using.

0:23

You can really think of Sendspark as that

0:25

in-between, between Gmail and Zoom,

0:27

when you want to have back and forth

0:29

video, that is a little bit faster,

0:31

a little bit more asynchronous,

0:32

but still better than just text alone.

0:34

When we were building Sendspark

0:36

we wanted to make sure that we were really

0:38

focusing on

0:40

building the important parts of the company, but not

0:42

reinventing the wheel when it came to video.

0:45

My co-founder and I have strong

0:47

backgrounds in marketing and design.

0:49

So we were looking for a video API

0:52

that we could just plug and play with.

0:54

We just wanted to be able to hit the ground

0:56

right away and build our differentiator

0:59

without spending a year

1:01

building out the video tech stack.

1:03

So we started using Mux.

1:05

We were able to get going like right away.

1:06

I think we had our MVP off the ground in a month.

1:09

Mux has kind of been like

1:11

our backend infrastructure dev team, in a way.

1:14

Where we can trust that a lot of these processes

1:16

like uploading, transcoding

1:18

are handled really well,

1:19

but we didn't have to spend the time or

1:22

resources on our end building that out.
