Chris Mongang · Founder documentariesDocumenting the people building tomorrow.
I spend days with founders and their teams and turn the messy, unpolished, world-changing part into short documentaries for talent, investors and your community.
Founders I've filmed with
For founders who are too busy building to capture it.
- Raising
- Investors see the team in action, not a deck.
- Hiring
- Candidates meet your culture before the first call.
- Launching
- Show the build behind the product.

How it works
- 01
Pilot
1 - 2 days with you and your team. One short documentary and clips, delivered within two weeks.
- 02
Partnership
A few shoot days every month. Your story, captured as it happens -> episodes, clips and an archive that grows.
- 03
Flagship film
When the story is ready, a longer film from everything we've captured. Length follows the story.
In April 2026, I flew to New York for a vacation. Two days later, I was filming in the workshop of Starlife, a humanoid robotics startup.
Before that, I built businesses myself - a D2C-brand and a street-football event & media brand. I know how much of building never makes it to the outside.

Questions
How much of our time does it take?
Almost none. I shadow your day – one interview of about an hour at most.
What about confidential tech?
NDA by default. Nothing goes public without your approval.
Who owns the footage?
You can use everything on all your channels. I only show work you've approved.
Where do you work?
Based in Berlin. Working across DACH and New York.
