FEED Spring 2023 Web

STARTED: 2020 VENUE. VIDEO

What’s your origin story? My name is Jason Goldlist and I am the CEO and founder of Venue.video. Venue started by reimagining the live video experience for large remote teams. We made simple production and engagement tools in the cloud and gave anyone the ability to design and deliver engaging meetings at scale. Companies like Shopify started to use Venue every day for town halls, kick- offs, training, webinars and more. These tools are still part of Venue today. We were part of Y Combinator’s winter 2022 batch, and raised a £3.3 million seed round led by Accel and prominent angels including the founders of Slack, Squarespace, Frame.io and Remote. What is the company working on right now? Venue is the one place for all your videos. Our clients call us ‘YouTube for teams’ because we transform your workspace of recordings, meetings and video files into organised, searchable and shareable channels. You can easily drag and drop videos into channels and assign channel owners to feature and highlight important videos. Every video is automatically transcribed, so your team can find what they need before pressing play, and simple tools to record videos and take them to the next level are built right in. The platform is secure and compliance certified to keep your team’s sensitive information secure. Robust analytics and insights are available at group and individual levels, and we also integrate directly with Google, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and many more, in order to import recordings as meetings happen. What is the next step? As long as videos are part of how teams communicate at work, we’ll be working on Venue! We’re constantly striving to make the Venue platform more simple, effective and affordable. New features that automatically clip, highlight and summarise videos are in the works, and more opportunities to highlight key messages are being added to the platform. What’s more, we’re continuing to optimise the platform to reduce the total cost of managing your video archive. What one thing does the business need most? Our vision is to be the best video workspace for modern, distributed teams. If you’re interested in helping to shape the future of corporate video communications, we’d love to hear from you.
