Great to see the community posting about our product. We built Coverr about a year ago as a side project of Veed.me. Glad to see people find it useful!


I love it.

You guys should create a plugin for WordPress to use video backgrounds. You will have tons of customers waiting for it. If you need help with building plugins, I can help you with that.


Since it's just a side project, we don't really have the bandwidth to do so.. but if you're willing to contribute something like that, it'd be awesome and we'll obviously attribute for that on the site.. let us know we're at [email protected]


We love Sandwich video. We at Veed.me (http://www.veed.me) help startups with low budgets as well - get an affordable and awesome videos. For a budget between 3k-10k we had great companies like Waze, Jawbone, Check, WeChat and many SMB's getting their great video.

Also - it's free to list a project.

Sandwich video are f* awesome, but not every startup can get a video there.


downloaded Bolt as the only way i can support from afar..


I hope the team makes the best of a bad situation and uses the attention (and possibly press) to convert supporters, like yourself, into users.


thanks for that! but you really don't have to link Facebook at all, it's only if you want to/prefer to.

Would love to hear some more feedback yoav at veedme com


Umm.. seems like we'll have no choice but to pay that!


Sounds interesting for video files..


Yea, actually the platform behind this downloader suits to serve even streaming, see peer5.com


taking loans/crowdfunding do not give away equity and are you trying to say that joining an accelerator means you can't consider yourself bootstrapping?


Perhaps you're using a different definition of bootstrapping, but in my understanding it means "starting a business and getting to profitability without taking external money in the form of selling equity or taking on debt"[1]. Accelerators pretty much always take a small chunk of equity, and bank loans are debt (obviously). Crowd-funding in the Kickstarter sense, with "pre-order" sales of a thing, is bootstrapping, but crowd-funding in the seedrs sense with a crowd of people investing by-proxy isn't - it's just a fund raising in a different way.

[1] Similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(business)#Financ...


yeah, meant in the kickstarter sense. Anyway, thanks for the comments and putting time into explaining. see you around and have a beautiful day.


Hi there! thanks for the feedback! We actually have quite a lot of production companies that signed up too and they showcase their work as a company. I hope that we'll be able to help you find some work!

Let me know if you have any other questions/comments..

Cheers, Yoav at veedme


Hey! thanks for the kind words. It's true what you say about "competition" sites (Elance, oDesk etc..) but don't forget that these are countries where programming is very popular. We are trying to hand pick and curate our creators by their level of execution (portfolios) and not only by price. As a client you name your maximum budget and then work with whoever is interested, based on his proposal and portfolio. We're in an Alpha stage and will appreciate any sort of feedback, that's why we're here aren't we? :) cheers. p.s would love to learn more about your company, too.


Thanks for the kind words! I'm one of the co-founders and I'm happy to see that you appreciate the design..
