About Us
At Oevo, we believed that creativity doesn’t need minutes to make an impact—sometimes, all it takes is 7 seconds.
Launched in 2017 by brothers Mohammad and Hasan Mukati, Oevo was designed to be a next-generation short-form video platform where anyone with a phone and a spark of creativity could compete, connect, and get rewarded. It was a space where every second counted—and every creator mattered.
The inspiration for Oevo came during a time when there was a void in the market. Vine had shut down, and nothing quite captured its magic—its simplicity, its spontaneity, its ability to turn anyone into a star overnight. The Mukati brothers saw not just a gap in the market but an opportunity to build something even more powerful: a platform that didn’t just let you post videos but gave you a reason to create every day.
So, they built Oevo, short for “One Evolution”—a nod to the idea that it only takes one moment, one video, one idea to spark the next big thing. What started as a mobile app quickly grew into a passionate community of creators across the globe.
At its core, Oevo was built around three values:
1. Creativity in Constraints
We embraced limits—not as restrictions, but as invitations to innovate. Our 7-second video format forced creators to get to the point, think creatively, and communicate in bold, memorable ways. Whether it was a comedy sketch, dance move, clever transition, or visual trick—users were constantly surprising the platform (and themselves) with what they could pull off in such a short time.
2. Competition with Purpose
Oevo wasn’t just about likes or views—it was about winning real-world rewards. Our daily and weekly challenges allowed creators to submit videos around trending themes and topics, with cash prizes for the most loved content. It was a fun, fair, and rewarding system that gave everyone—from first-time users to viral veterans—a shot at recognition. Unlike platforms that relied solely on algorithms and follower counts, Oevo leveled the playing field through community voting, creative merit, and timing.
3. Community Over Clout
The heart of Oevo was its users. We weren’t just building a product—we were building a movement. From the beginning, we listened closely to our community, rolled out features they asked for, and kept the user experience simple, sleek, and social. Gifting features, following systems, notifications, and real-time feedback were built to foster real connections between creators and fans—not inflate vanity metrics.
Built for Creators. Designed for the Moment.
While many platforms emphasized long-form storytelling or polished aesthetics, Oevo doubled down on authenticity, speed, and playfulness. Every design decision was made to remove friction: record, loop, submit, compete.
You didn’t need fancy editing software or a production crew. You just needed your phone, your face, and your idea. With categories ranging from comedy and fashion to art and pets, there was a place for everyone and every niche.
Even more, we designed Oevo with performance in mind. Smooth playback, seamless looping, low upload times, and clean UI made the creative process fun instead of frustrating. Our daily challenge system gave users a reason to show up, stay consistent, and build a personal brand organically.
Founders Who Cared
Hasan Mukati led product and design, ensuring the app always felt intuitive, inspiring, and bold. Mohammad Mukati focused on growth, strategy, and user experience, helping scale the platform and build creator trust. Together, they combined technical skill with a user-first vision, growing Oevo into a standout community at a time when attention spans were shrinking and content fatigue was real.
They weren’t just tech founders—they were also creators. That meant every update, every algorithm tweak, and every feature was built with empathy and purpose.
A Moment in Time That Sparked Many More
Though Oevo’s original platform eventually sunset, its legacy remains. It wasn’t just a video app. It was a launchpad for new voices, a daily ritual for thousands of users, and proof that creativity can thrive within limits.
Many creators who once posted on Oevo now flourish on other platforms—armed with the confidence, content, and skills they first honed in those 7-second clips. That, for us, is the real win.
We’re proud of what we built. And we’re even prouder of the community that made Oevo more than an app—it became a moment, a movement, and a memory for so many.
The Evolution Continues
At Oevo, we always believed in evolving. Whether it’s through new ventures, new tech, or new platforms, our mission remains the same: empower creators, reward originality, and inspire the world—one second at a time.
