In the early days of building a startup, every dollar—and every day—counts.
You can’t afford to spend $5,000 on one video ad. You can't wait weeks for revisions. And you definitely can't rely on slow agency timelines when you're trying to move fast and validate your ideas.
That’s why more startups are creating high-converting video ads themselves—without agencies, freelancers, or full production crews.
And they're doing it with AI video tools like Clicks.Video.
Here’s how lean teams are skipping the agencies and still producing content that drives real results.
