Overview

Framebase is programmatic video.

Writing applications which use video in a meaningful way is extremely difficult. And then there's the maintenance.

Framebase makes video a first-class object. Instead of hiring a team to deal with transcoding configurations, device compatibility bugs, or CDN contracts, Framebase lets you add two lines of code to start treating videos as class instances.

Framebase is a pivot of TapIn.tv, which is a Y Combinator S 2012 company.

Tyler Menezes

Founder

My full-time job is getting kids excited about coding in 50+ cities, through events like CodeDay. For fun, I also produce Ignite Seattle. In a past life, I worked directly in technology, including publishing some papers at Microsoft Research Machine Learning and Applied Statistics, and running a YC and venture-backed startup similar to Periscope (before Periscope). You can check out the mostly-accurate Wikipedia page for more info.
