# Case Study: EasySlice

How an 18-year-old solo founder built a $40k/month AI clipping business powered by Mosaic — from idea to 75,000 signups in 4 months.

## Meet Søren Skarsgard, Founder of EasySlice

**Søren Skarsgard** is an 18-year-old college student and solo founder building **[EasySlice](https://www.easyslice.ai/)**, an autonomous AI clipping + auto-posting engine for creators.

Despite his age and constraints, he's driven by a simple insight: creators want to **clip + post daily**, without doing manual editing or scheduling. His execution has been remarkable — EasySlice turned into a fast-growing product with real users and revenue.

> "I reached out to Mosaic, OpusClip, Klap, and more. Mosaic was the only one that responded positively. I hopped on a call with Adish, shared the idea, and that's when I knew I found my backend."
> **— Søren Skarsgard, Founder of EasySlice**

## The Goal

Build a fully automated service that:

1. **Detects new uploads** from creators  
2. **Clips them automatically** with AI  
3. **Instantly posts them** across social platforms

Søren's core question:

> "Why do auto-posters exist and AI clippers exist, but no one does both?"

## Before Mosaic

Søren tried to find existing clipping companies that could support:

- Automated ingestion of raw content
- Bulk clip extraction
- Consistency in clip quality
- Export-ready outputs for multiple platforms
- API-level reliability

What he found instead:

- Companies that only clipped content (no posting)
- Companies that only auto-posted content (no clipping)
- Slow or no response from potential partners
- No backend strong enough for his product vision

He was looking for an **engine**, not just a tool.

## After Mosaic

Once Søren connected with Mosaic, everything clicked:

- Mosaic became the **backend clip engine**
- Søren handled platform logic + distribution
- Creators got a **fully autonomous workflow**

The impact speaks for itself:

- **5M monthly views** during early growth
- **5,400-person waitlist** before launch
- **Launched Sep 1, 2025**

By December:

- **75,000 email signups**
- **2,000+ paid lifetime users**
- **$40k+ monthly revenue**
- **Tens of thousands of clips generated**
- **All powered by Mosaic**

This validated his thesis: if you remove the editing bottleneck, creators will post more, and grow more.

## The Mosaic Capabilities EasySlice Uses

To power the backend, EasySlice relies on:

- **YouTube Triggers** — Automatically detects new uploads from connected creator channels
- **Clips** — Automated clip extraction from long-form content
- **Reframe** — Platform-specific formatting (vertical, square, etc.)
- **AI B-Roll** — Intelligent supplementary footage generation
- **Captions** — Auto-generated cinematic captions for social platforms
- **Destinations** — Automated posting directly to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts

The combination of **Triggers + Destinations** is what makes EasySlice truly autonomous — creators connect their channel once, and clips flow automatically from upload to posting without any manual intervention.

These aren't just product features — they're **infrastructure**.

## Søren's Experience as a Solo Founder

Despite being:

- 18 years old
- A college student
- Running a company alone

He still shipped a production product because Mosaic removed an entire class of operational complexity from his workload.

> "Although running a business is not easy by yourself… Mosaic's help with bugs, errors, and catastrophic problems has been nothing short of a blessing."
> **— Søren Skarsgard**

He also credits Mosaic for:

- **Founder support** — Direct access to Adish & Kyle
- **YC warm intros** — Connections to the YC network
- **Technical troubleshooting** — Fast resolution of issues
- **Platform evolution** — Continuous improvements to the API
