Videotto, an AI-driven video automation startup co-founded by students from Singapore Polytechnic (SP) and Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP), has secured venture capital funding to accelerate its next stage of growth. The startup, which originated from a joint polytechnic collaboration, uses artificial intelligence to transform long-form videos such as live streams, podcasts, and interviews into short, high-performing social media clips. This technology enables creators, agencies, and live stream sellers to multiply their content output without expanding their editing teams. Led by Tay Yao Ming from SP’s Diploma in Engineering with Business and Ian Lee from NP’s Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering, the team also includes AI specialists Felix Isaac Lim from SP’s Diploma in Applied AI & Analytics and Chong Kah Hian from SP’s Diploma in Information & Technology. Together, they developed a platform capable of converting hours of footage into ready-to-post social content within minutes. Ms Tan Yen Yen, Senior Director of SP’s Business Creatives cluster and Director of Industry & Partnerships, commended the team’s success, saying, “We are proud of the Videotto team for their remarkable achievements and innovative spirit. Their journey reflects SP’s strong support for student startups, from mentorships to seed funding, and our commitment to helping young founders turn bold ideas into real impact. We wish the team continued success as they grow their venture.”
