Pocket Supernova

Pocket Supernova was a mobile application developer founded in 2013 by Oscar Yasser Noriega. The company, which was based in Tokyo, Japan, is now defunct. Pocket Supernova operated in the multimedia and design software industry, focusing on consumer-facing mobile apps. The firm successfully raised a total of $1.2 million over two seed funding rounds. The initial round in July 2013 raised $300,000, and a subsequent round on October 31, 2014, secured an additional $900,000. Investors included CyberAgent Capital, Agile Angel, East Ventures, and 500 Global, and the company was part of the 500 Startups Acceleration Program in 2013.

The company's product portfolio included mobile applications designed for content creation and sharing, available exclusively on iOS. One of its main products was "Unda," a video sharing mobile app. Another key offering was "VideoSelfie," a real-time video selfie editor. This application enabled users to add filters, decorations, and GIFs to their videos. More advanced features included face tracking, video overlaying, green screen effects, picture-in-picture modes, doodle tools, and reaction cams, all aimed at helping users create content ready for social media. Despite its efforts and initial funding, the company ceased operations, with its status listed as "Out of Business" as of November 2021.
