Navigate Ventures is pleased to announce it has made an investment in Videate, an AI-driven recording and distribution platform that can instantly update product, training, and demo videos across large enterprises whenever product or workflows evolve.

‍

Videate helps SaaS companies automatically create and update how-to, onboarding, training, and demo videos - directly from their software. Designed for customer education, success, and enablement teams, the platform eliminates manual video editing by detecting UI changes and instantly generating updated content with synced voiceovers in over 50 languages. Unlike screen recorders, Videate uses a code-level recording engine to capture workflows and maintain accuracy as products evolve. With features like Smart Updates, batch processing, and localization, Videate ensures that video content stays current, scalable, and globally accessible - without the overhead of re-recording. By turning product changes into instant, polished videos, Videate empowers teams to deliver better user experiences while saving time and resources at scale.

Videate is led by CEO Ryan Arnett, who brings over 17 years of leadership experience in the SaaS industry. He has built and scaled high-performing go-to-market teams, driven double- digit revenue growth, and helped transform startups into market leaders through multiple

successful exits. Passionate about building sustainable, high-impact technology companies, Ryan focuses on driving profitable growth through creativity, collaboration, and strong cross-functional alignment. At Videate, he’s guiding the company’s mission to revolutionize how software teams create and maintain video at scale.

"Partnering with Navigate Ventures has been an exceptional experience. From day one, they understood our vision and the opportunity ahead of us, and their team brought not only capital, but also thoughtful insights and genuine enthusiasm for our business. Their decision to invest in Videate was a strong vote of confidence, and it came with the kind of strategic partnership every SaaS startup hopes for: responsive, supportive, and forward-thinking. Navigate has been instrumental in helping us sharpen our focus as we pursue our growth round, and we’re excited to have them by our side during this phase." - Ryan Arnett, CEO, Videate
