Launch YC: Shofo - Common Crawl for Videos

"Millions of hours of video data. Cleaned, segmented, and semantically searchable for AI labs."
TL;DR: Shofo builds complete pipelines that collect, segment, sanitize, and label videos from across social media to curate custom datasets for AI labs.

Founded by Bryan Hong, Andre Braga, Braiden Dishman & Alexzendor Misra

The team met while building a previous startup called Correkt. Correkt was an AI search engine focused on multimodal content and reached over 40k users before pivoting to become Shofo.

❌ The Problem

AI labs need massive video datasets, but high-quality, segmented video data is hard to access.

✅ The Solution

The team started by building the largest index of short-form videos. Then they run an end-to-end pipeline that sanitizes and applies object and activity detection, reasoning, and segmentation to produce custom training datasets for AI labs.

For example, if a lab needs 50k cooking videos featuring hand-object interactions, they query their index, run the results through their labeling pipeline, and deliver a clean, annotated dataset.
