The Challenge

Sabia Partners, a dynamic group of women entrepreneurs, wanted to democratize video contests—a format traditionally locked behind expensive platforms. The mission was to:

  • Build an affordable SaaS-based video contest platform targeting startups and small business owners
  • Enable white-labeled contest setup with full control for individual users
  • Support seamless video submission, rating, sharing, and contest management tools
  • Ensure compatibility with all common video formats, accessible to a broad demographic

The Opportunity

Sabia Partners sought to:

  • Address a major market gap with a low-cost, scalable video contest solution
  • Offer plug-and-play contest widgets embeddable on any website
  • Enable community voting, reviews, and sharing without the need for large IT investments
  • Deliver contest moderation, statistics, and branding tools in an easy-to-use dashboard

Our Solution

  • On-the-fly encoding was implemented using Sothink's video encoder to convert any uploaded format to FLV, optimized for web
