Kamua is a cloud-based SaaS platform that uses AI to automate video repurposing and editing, allowing users to convert widescreen video content to vertical mobile formats quickly. Founded by Paul Robert Cary and CTO Radu Amarie, the product emerged from Paul's experience running a Netflix-for-short-films startup where brands needed to convert promotional videos to mobile formats. With a lean team of six people, Kamua has grown to $6,000 MRR through a bootstrapped approach ($225k personal investment) and partnerships with Google Cloud, Nvidia, and HubSpot, while using content marketing (tutorials targeting Adobe users) as a primary growth strategy.
