Ghostlaunch product video: “Meanwhile”

A 52-second film we made for Ghostlaunch, a tool that tests a startup idea before you build it.

The story

A founder types a few sentences about an idea on the train, then gets on with their week. Meanwhile the test runs on its own, and on Sunday night the report arrives.

Why it works

It sells time rather than features. A founder types a few sentences about an idea on the train, then gets on with the week while the test runs on its own. The report arriving on Sunday night is the payoff, and the title carries the promise.
