Virlo
Short-form video intelligence: trends, hashtags, and creator analytics.
About
Virlo is a social-media intelligence platform for short-form video — pitched as a Bloomberg terminal for viral content. It tracks 500K+ ranked hashtags, 2M+ viral videos with performance data, and daily curated trending topics across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, plus social listening (Orbit) and automated niche monitoring (Comet). Founded in early 2024 in New York by Nicolas Mauro, it targets creators, agencies, and brands hunting unsaturated niches, and offers a developer API. A 2025 press release claims users triple average views per video within three months — treat that as company-reported.
Honest caveats: the strongest traction claims are company-reported, and the API/dev tier appears to be the current focus, so casual creators should check what the dashboard plans actually include.
