Company mission
To enable fans and creators, for the first time ever, to own a piece of the social economy that they help grow.
Our take
FreshCut, previously known as Metaview, offers customized playlists of live-streamed gaming content. Its founders wanted to create a space where gamers and viewers could feel connected as part of a community.
Users can view gamers playing their favorite games and the platform learns preferences and tailors content specifically to the user to create a unique daily mix of video clips. The service is all about delivering fresh, entertaining content to this specialist consumer sector. In addition to social gaming platforms such as Twitch and YouTube Gaming, the service provides a new way to reach gamers with short-form content.
FreshCut launched as a direct rival to the more established Boom.TV and the company have been pursuing a partnerships strategy to drive growth. The company partnered with AnimeHouston to provide event highlight clips and weekly gaming competition East Coast Throwdown. With the success of viral video platforms such as TikTok and Snapchat, FreshCut hopes to bring the trend to the gaming space, and the recent funding it received will help facilitate this.
