VC fundraising for video streaming software companies
Video infrastructure and streaming VC has consolidated around operators with credible consumption gross margin, enterprise traction in media and broadcast, and AI-driven value-add in editing, post-production and creator tools. Bandwidth and infrastructure economics are weighed carefully - consumption businesses with thin gross margin face a tougher valuation environment.
Investors are video and creator-tools-specialist seed and growth funds, infrastructure-focused investors backing consumption-economics-heavy businesses, and corporate venture arms attached to the major media, broadcast and cloud groups. Flow has direct relationships across the video specialists, infrastructure funds and the media and cloud CVCs that fund the category.
Flow has experience running VC fundraising processes for video and streaming software companies across OVPs and video infrastructure, live streaming and broadcast technology, video editing and post-production, CDN and delivery, and creator and short-form video tools. Our extensive investor network spans early-stage seed funds, growth-stage investors, and strategic and corporate VC arms.
