The Founder
Built by a creator, for creators.
Dave Awatere
FounderCCIE #6844I run a daily geopolitics show on YouTube and got buried by the shorts workflow on top of everything else. So I built the tool I needed. shortshorts is the result - an autopilot that handles clipping, captioning, scheduling and publishing so I can focus on making the content.
Former network engineer turned creator. Two AI coding agents running 24/7. I try to ship a new release every week and I use this on my own channel every day.

What we stand for
Built different, by design.
Every decision we make comes back to one question: does this save creators time or make their content reach further?
Built for speed
From upload to published short in minutes, not hours. Our pipeline handles transcription, AI analysis, clip cutting, overlay, and scheduling in a single automated run.
Multi-platform
YouTube Shorts and X - scheduled at your prime times, with platform-native formatting. One source video, two audiences reached.
For teams
Multi-tenant from day one. Each creator gets their own config, credentials, and queue. Agencies can manage 10+ clients without ever touching a timeline.
Usage-based pricing
Pay $0.20 per published Short. No subscription. No caps. Scale up or down instantly - you only pay for what ships.
The story
Automation that doesn't feel robotic.
We built shortshorts because the tools that existed were either too manual, too expensive, or produced clips that looked like they came from a factory. Creators deserve automation that's invisible - clips that look hand-crafted even when the machine did all the work.
Today, shortshorts powers creators, agencies, news desks, and podcasters who collectively publish thousands of Shorts every week - without touching a single timeline.
