How to Announce Your Funding Round with a Video
By the Maybe Lab teamA funding announcement video is a short clip — usually 20–40 seconds — that turns a raise into a moment your market, recruits, and future investors actually notice. It's not the pitch video you used to close the round; it's the celebratory, forward-looking version you post the day the news goes out. Here's how to make one.
What a funding announcement video should say
- The headline — the amount, the round, and the lead investor.
- The mission — what the money lets you build, in one line.
- A nod to customers — the raise is fuel for them, not just a trophy.
- A hook forward — hiring, a product bet, or a bold goal.
Announcement vs. pitch video
| Pitch video | Announcement video | |
|---|---|---|
| Audience | Investors | Market, press, recruits, customers |
| Goal | Close the round | Amplify the news |
| Tone | Credible, data-led | Celebratory, momentum-led |
| Length | 60–90 sec | 20–40 sec |
| Timing | During the raise | Announcement day |
If you haven't made the raise itself yet, start with the pitch video guide — the announcement video is the celebratory cut that comes after.
Where to post it
Lead with LinkedIn and X on announcement day, embed it in the blog post or press release, and pin a vertical cut to social. One master video becomes every placement — the same workflow as turning one video into ten social clips.
How to make one fast
Announcement day is busy, so the video can't be a project. Describe the round and your mission to Maybe Lab and generate an on-brand, captioned announcement video in minutes — polished enough to match the moment. The premium feel comes from restraint, not budget; see what makes motion feel premium.
Funding announcement video FAQ
How long should a funding announcement video be?
20–40 seconds. It's a moment, not an explainer — state the round, the mission, and what's next, then stop.
What should a funding announcement video include?
The amount and round, the lead investor, what the raise lets you build, a nod to customers, and a forward-looking hook like hiring or a product goal — all readable on mute.
Is a funding announcement video the same as a pitch video?
No. A pitch video helps close the round with investors; an announcement video amplifies the news to your market, press, and recruits after the round is done.
