AVerMedia BU113 Funded
Social posts show the AVerMedia BU113 capture card has attracted notable funding attention in creator communities, surfacing as a recently backed capture‑card option. (x.com).
The AVerMedia BU113 is circulating again in creator communities, but the device itself is an existing camera capture card rather than a newly crowdfunded launch. (avermedia.com) AVerMedia sells the BU113 as the “Live Streamer CAP 4K,” a small box that takes an HDMI feed from a camera and sends it to a computer over Universal Serial Bus, or USB. The company says it supports 4K at 60 frames per second input with high dynamic range, or HDR, and records at up to 4K at 30 frames per second. (avermedia.com) A capture card is the bridge between a camera and streaming software such as Open Broadcaster Software Studio: the camera sends video over High-Definition Multimedia Interface, or HDMI, and the card converts it into a webcam-style signal a computer can read. AVerMedia lists the BU113 as plug-and-play over USB 3.1 Gen 1 and says it works with Windows, macOS, and iPadOS 17 or later. (avermedia.com) The current attention appears to be social and retail attention, not a disclosed financing round. AVerMedia’s product page, its United States store listing, and a March 2023 quick-start guide all present the BU113 as a shipping product, with no mention of Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or a new funding campaign. (avermedia.com) (shop-us.avermedia.com) (m.media-amazon.com) That distinction matters because AVerMedia introduced a newer follow-on model, the BU113G2, on June 26, 2025. In that announcement, the company positioned the BU113G2 as a new camera-capture option for creators, which helps explain why older BU113 naming can resurface in recommendation threads and shopping posts. (businesswire.com) The BU113 is aimed at people using mirrorless cameras, digital single-lens reflex cameras, camcorders, and action cameras as higher-quality webcams for streaming, classes, remote demos, or live production. AVerMedia says the unit does not support USB 2.0 and recommends a relatively modern computer, including an Intel Core i5-6XXX desktop with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or better on Windows. (avermedia.com) Retail listings show the product has remained on sale well after its initial rollout. Amazon’s current listing describes the BU113 as a content-creation capture card, while Newegg recently listed prices around $150.97 and third-party listings cited a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $178.99. (amazon.com) (newegg.com) (partschase.com) The cleaner read on the recent posts is that the BU113 has picked up fresh creator interest, not that AVerMedia has announced a new funding event around it. For buyers, the practical question is less who “backed” it than whether this older 4K30 capture device fits their setup better than the newer BU113G2. (avermedia.com) (businesswire.com)
