👋 Hey! Michael Henry here. I started Intro Video.

I’m a few months into this project, and while it’s still the early days, I have a clear vision.

I’m looking for a few key partners to thoughtfully bring it to life.

Purpose

The purpose of this business is to empower the bold professionals who choose to create Intro Videos. This means helping them craft great videos and personal web pages that stand out and drive action (interviews, discovery calls, sales).

For myself and the Intro Video team, I want this project to be a creative and intellectual adventure and a way for me and all partners involved to make a great living doing impactful work.

Project Status

Intro Video has been my full time focus for a few months now. Right now, its a productized service that utilizes existing software products Framer, Cal.com, Loom, TLDraw, and Descript. The purpose of this current phase is to refine the Intro Video concept. We are actively shaping the definition of what an "Intro Video" is!

Vision

Once the concept is refined, I would like to build an integrated web experience that combines the functionality of the above tools. This experience would help Intro Video creators record a great video and make a great webpage with ease. Im referring to this integrated experience as IV MVP.

My Background

IV MVP is ambitious, but I feel confident in my ability to execute. Ive worked in the photo/video space for 10+ years at Red Bull, GoPro, and most relevantly Adobe, where I spent four years as a Product Manager leading design and engineering teams to build Adobe Premiere Rush, a cross-platform beginner video editing app. Heres my Linkedin.

Bootstrapping

So you know, I havent raised money, and I dont plan to. This project isnt about chasing VC returns. I want to build with intention, keeping Intro Video creators at the heart of every decision and prioritizing long-term impact over short-term growth.
