For investors
A studio that builds the system it runs on.
We are building CATS OS, the system that runs creative production: people, deadlines, approvals and AI models in one place. Making content is getting cheap; running it is where studios, shows and brands lose time and money.
What already exists
Three systems run today, on our own productions.
- Our music show Live
MONO SHOW Content OS
Runs season 3 of our music show: 12 episodes, six platforms, 156 tasks on one sheet.
- Studio dashboard Live
CATS OS cabinet
Project registry with Google sign-in and roles; screens for season, people, publications.
Runs on the MONO season. Public deploy at os.cats.studio is planned by 31 October 2026.
- Client work Live
Automation for a client’s production company
The client’s editor, content lead and PR managers work inside the same system.
Client name withheld until they approve it.
What the studio does today
CATS Studio produces CGI, AI video, media installations and visual content for brands, agencies, events and artists. Clients with case pages on this site include Yandex, MTS, VK, Harman Kardon, Team Wang (PANTHEPACK), Gunna and Esquire. Focus on the UAE and international markets; Russia is a warm market.
Business model
Which money appears when.
Today the studio earns on production. In phases 2 and 3 a production pays for setting the system up and a monthly fee for running on it, and can still hire us to make the content. From phase 4, teams run it themselves on subscription and usage. No prices yet: they come from the first paying productions.
Fees for CGI, AI video, shows and installations. Stays as the premium layer later.
One-off: we move a production’s routine into the system and connect their chats.
Recurring, per production on the system.
Optional: our crew makes the content on top of the system.
Teams run the platform themselves.
Model compute and generation, billed by use.
The plan
Planned12 to 18 months on up to $150,000.
The MVP is being built now, on studio money. Investment speeds up the move to phase 3.
Use of funds
Shares of the round, as ranges. Exact numbers go in the deck.
- 45-55% Team and development Engineers and a producer for client onboarding; review of what AI agents write.
- 20-25% Reaching clients Sales to production companies, shows and agencies; pilots and cases.
- 10-20% Compute and model subscriptions Model APIs, hosting, database, generation tools.
- 10-15% Reserve Model price changes and slower sales.
Milestones
In order. Each one is checked before money goes to the next.
- 01 MVP for external productions The first client project runs in the cabinet (studio plan: February to March 2027).
- 02 First 3 to 5 paying productions on the system Setup plus a monthly fee, production by the studio where they need it.
- 03 A case with numbers Measured on a live client: response time, missed deadlines, hours a producer spends chasing.
- 04 Decision on the next round With the case and the paying productions in hand, or a decision to grow on revenue.
Why us
We are our own first client.
We know the domain
We make CGI, AI video, shows and installations for brands, agencies and artists. We know where production breaks because we run it.
Our own productions are the test ground
A music show season, our studio dashboard and a client’s production company already run on the system. After an audit of our own bot’s mistakes in October 2026 we rebuilt the rules: a responsibility map, not the model, decides who gets tagged.
We build fast with AI agents
The MONO system went from an empty repository on 16 September 2026 to the season premiere on 8 October. Code is written with AI coding agents and reviewed by us.
Risks
What could go wrong, and how we see it.
Platforms compete
Model companies and large creative tools add project features. Our answer: we sit above any single model and start from production, where they do not.
Dependence on models
Prices and quality change fast. Today texts run on one provider; the model is a setting, so switching is a config change, not a rebuild.
A small team
Founder-led, with AI agents writing much of the code. Funds go first to people and to keeping the code reviewable.
B2B sales are slow
Productions buy on trust. We start with companies we already work with and sell the system together with production.
Today’s stack has limits
MONO runs on Google Sheets and Apps Script, with 19 of 20 allowed triggers used. Moving the core to the cabinet and a database is part of phase 2.
