Since its inception in 2013, in three short years, Ripples Edge Media, a San Francisco Bay area video production company, has grown to support Kickstarter and Indiegogo video clients around the world, creating compelling crowdfunding videos that have raised over $2,000,000 to date. This San Francisco video production company has recently been ranked by an external website, 10 Best Production, as the second best crowdfunding video production company in the United States. 10 Best Production consistently releases new awards for the best video production company ranking and for each list, the company examines various criteria in order to judge the individual production companies. 10 Best Production's panel of judges is comprised of video production experts that collectively have decades of industry experience.

My team is passionately dedicated to ensuring innovative tech startups and social entrepreneurs, in particular, harness the power of video storytelling to maximize their impacts both online and off." Christine, a semi-professional dancer, pirouetted from science to film, recognizing the medium's inherent power to tell stories and ignite change and says, "What you love should form the foundation for your life's work and that's why I do what I do."
Ripples Edge Media has served countless clients and delivered the results necessary for success in crowdfunding, particularly for socially-responsible projects and conscious business startups. A specific niche in crowdfunding and startup videos means we impart an unparalleled level of expertise to every client we work with and are skilled in crafting videos that drive viewers towards a clear call-to-action.
