Market Opportunity
Video distribution via the Web has exploded over the last two years. However, no easy and reliable solution exists for securely sharing personal, entrepreneurial or sensitive video content. The untapped market could match the following valuations: WebEx, $3.2 billion; YouTube, $1 billion; Brightcove, $80 million.
DEMO Says
Video has certainly become easier to work with in recent years—look no further than YouTube for evidence—but there is still a large sector of the population that isn’t quite sure how to make the connection between the camcorder in your hand and the streaming content on your screen. Enter Filmaroo, a service that does virtually everything but supply the cute baby. Automatic encoding and compression, a BitTorrent backend for hosting without huge bandwidth, the ability to select specific timeframes for sharing—it literally doesn’t get any easier or more enjoyable for the everyday consumer.
