Meitu lured back a 25-year-old PM with $1.4M budget; his AI MV platform hit $500K ARR
创业邦 · wechat · 2026-09-06
A former Meitu AI product manager who quit to become a full-time AI video creator was lured back after 9 months through Meitu's internal-startup program: up to 10 million RMB in budget plus full platform support, with hard KPIs — launch in one month, $100K ARR within six months or disband. He built MVLAND, an AI music-video platform for overseas markets using a canvas-plus-agent workflow with mixed model selection by quality. It launched in June 2026 and passed $500K ARR by August. The piece details his process: vibecoding for prototypes, weekly iterations, growth via AI-creator influencers instead of paid ads, and a no-internal-traffic policy from existing products.
