Hardware Details

Questions, answered

The practical stuff people ask before switching away from the cloud.

Is Vide0 a social platform?
No. Vide0 is infrastructure — like a personal "media OS". It's not a feed, not an algorithm, not a network. Your content stays on your hardware.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
The goal is "NAS-level easy": plug in a device, connect to your router, and use a web app. Advanced installs remain possible, but not required.
What about illegal or harmful content?
Vide0 is private-by-default local software — not a public hosting platform. The policy posture is "your server, your responsibility" with strong defaults and explicit sharing controls.
Why not just use YouTube or Google Photos?
Because those are subscription + platform dependencies. Vide0 is for people who want ownership, privacy, and predictable lifetime costs.

VC / Founder Brief Printable

Vide0 — 1-Page Pitch

"Own your memories. Not rent them."

One-liner

A plug-and-play, self-hosted photo & video platform that replaces Google Photos / iCloud — with full data ownership, private sharing, and optional local AI.

Problem

  • Exploding media: 4K/8K libraries fill cloud plans fast
  • Subscription fatigue: lifelong "memory tax"
  • Loss of sovereignty: data in third-party centers
  • Self-hosting too hard: OSS not mainstream-friendly

Solution

  • Runs on personal NAS or plug-and-play hardware
  • Clean web + mobile experience
  • Key-based sharing via QR codes
  • Optional local AI for thumbnails, trailers, search

Why now

  • Smartphones replaced cameras — orders of magnitude more data
  • AI makes local processing valuable again
  • Cloud pricing keeps creeping upward

Target users

  • Families with massive libraries
  • Creators with storage-heavy workflows
  • Privacy-conscious users seeking ownership
  • Small teams needing secure archives

1 Free Core

Drive adoption with a powerful free tier

2 Hardware

"Memory Box" for plug-and-play ownership

3 Premium

Convenience + AI modules subscription

4 Pro/Enterprise

Team features and dedicated support

Make personal data ownership boring, simple, and normal again. Not a social network — infrastructure for memories.

Pitch Deck

Copy into Keynote or PowerPoint. Each slide is self-contained.

01 Title

Vide0 — Own your memories. Not rent them.

02 The Problem
  • Phone cameras create massive 4K/8K libraries
  • Cloud storage hits limits fast — forced upgrades
  • Data lives in third-party data centers with shifting policies
03 The Insight

People don't want a new social app. They want simple ownership with cloud-level convenience.

04 The Solution
  • Self-hosted media OS (NAS/home server)
  • Web + mobile uploads
  • Key-based sharing via QR (no accounts)
  • Optional local AI post-processing
05 Product Experience
  • Plug-and-play setup path
  • Private-by-default sharing
  • Clean browsing and search
06 Market
  • Every smartphone owner generates storage-intensive media
  • Families, creators, privacy seekers, small teams
07 Competition
  • Cloud (Google/Apple): easy, but rented + dependency
  • OSS tools: ownership, but too complex
  • Vide0: ownership + mainstream usability
08 Business Model
  • Free core app — adoption
  • Hardware "Memory Box" — one-time revenue
  • Premium convenience + AI modules
  • Pro/Enterprise for teams
09 Go-to-Market
  • Self-hosted communities — early traction

10 Vision

Make personal data ownership as normal as owning your phone — and as simple as using the cloud.

Go-to-Market Plan Manifesto
Phase-based Distribution-first

Go-to-Market Plan

From hobby project to mainstream adoption

"Cloud-like media experience, running on your own hardware."

— Positioning Statement

Primary Segments

Privacy Enthusiasts

Early adopters, feedback loop, credibility builders

Families

Highest pain (storage), simplest narrative ("stop paying forever")

Creators

Big files + sharing needs + workflow integration

Phased Rollout

1

Credibility

Product maturity

  • Open-source core + transparent roadmap
  • One-click install (Docker + guided UI)
  • "Migration assistant" from Google/Apple
  • Community docs + YouTube videos
2

Mainstream

The unlock

  • Plug-and-play "Memory Box" hardware
  • Mobile-first onboarding
  • QR-based sharing "wow" moment
3

Scale

Distribution

  • Retail bundles + OEM partnerships
  • Affiliate programs with tech creators
  • Family referral loops ("invite by QR")

When one person self-hosts, sharing pulls in others — who then want their own storage and "Memory Box".

Win on "simple ownership" first. Add AI as an optional layer once the core is bulletproof and delightful.

— Strategy
GTM Plan Manifesto
Brand Voice OSS Credibility

Founder Manifesto

Why Vide0 exists

"We don't want another feed.
We want ownership."

For the last decade, the world quietly normalized a strange idea: that your family archive should live in someone else's building, under someone else's rules, for a fee that never ends.

Vide0 is a rejection of the "memory tax". It's a belief that your photos and videos should be yours — physically, legally, and practically. And that the software you use to store them should feel effortless.

Principles

Private by default

Sharing is explicit, not assumed. Your data never leaves your hardware unless you explicitly choose to share it.

Ownership first

The default path is local hardware. Cloud sync is optional, not required. Your files, your drives.

Cloud-like UX

Sovereignty shouldn't require sysadmin skills. If grandma can't use it, we haven't finished.

Optional intelligence

AI is a tool — not a surveillance layer. You choose what runs, what it sees, and where results go.

Our Promise

Vide0 will never become the thing it replaces: a platform that depends on owning your data.
