How to submit your startup video to Startup Videos (formerly Spectacle)
TL;DR
Startup Videos is a hand-picked library of the best startup, product and brand videos, built by the video agency Thinkmojo. It replaced Spectacle: spectacle.is now redirects to startupvideos.com. Submitting a video is free with an account, and a human curator reviews every entry. It suits startups with a polished launch, explainer or product video.
What is Startup Videos?
Startup Videos (startupvideos.com) is a searchable reference library for marketers, founders and video producers. In autumn 2026 it held 2,600+ curated videos, 41 listed studios and 459 public collections. Recent picks include launch films from PostHog, ElevenLabs, Runway and Apple; the PostHog video went up on 3 September 2026.
Every video is tagged by use case, production type, topic, mood, narration style, length and aspect ratio, and AI-generated tags carry a visible label. Visitors filter by industry, style and length, and save favourites into collections.
Spectacle was founded by Yann Lhomme, a co-founder of Thinkmojo. Today the old spectacle.is address and its /submit page both lead to startupvideos.com, and the logo file still carries the Spectacle name.
The site is small and honest about it: its sponsor page reported 2.6K human visitors and about 9.9K pageviews over 28 days (20 August to 16 September 2026). The domain authority of 28 belongs to the host domain. On a video page, the company's URL appears as plain text in the description, so do not expect a backlink.
Who should submit to Startup Videos?
- Startups with a professional launch film, product demo or explainer.
- SaaS and AI companies that want their video next to work from known brands.
- Video studios and freelancers building credibility with founders and marketers.
- Skip it if your video is a raw screen recording or a webinar: curators pick for production quality.
- Skip it if you need traffic or SEO links: the audience is small and the links are text only.
How much does Startup Videos cost?
The About page says browsing, collections and submitting work are all free. The site earns money from sponsors:
- Site-wide sponsor card: $500 per 30 days, one sponsor at a time.
- Studios Directory top placement: $250 per 30 days, two slots per month.
- A newsletter sponsorship is listed as "Soon".
Startup Videos publishes no review time for submissions.
How do you share your startup on Startup Videos?
- Prepare the final cut of your video, a short description and the production credits.
- Create an account or log in with email or Google.
- Open the submit page and add your video with its details.
- Wait for a curator to review it. Only approved videos appear in the library.
- Once live, add it to a public collection and share the page with your team and studio.
Tips to get more out of Startup Videos
- Submit your strongest single video, such as a short launch film, instead of a long recorded demo.
- Write the description around the story and style, the way existing entries do, and include production credits.
- Credit your studio by name: studios have their own directory and profile pages on the site.
- Submit right after a launch, while the video is fresh and fits the "Latest Videos" feed.
Our verdict
Startup Videos is the living successor of Spectacle, curated by a real video agency and free to submit to. A listing brings credibility with marketers and studios, and little traffic or SEO. Submit if your video is genuinely good.
