Background

Ooyala was founded in early 2007 with the intent of unlocking the value of video for content publishers. Our flagship product, Backlot, provides an end-to-end solution for content owners to transcode, manage, deliver, analyze, and monetize their video assets. The flexibility of our platform allows us to quickly respond to market needs, such as solutions for monetization that go well beyond advertising; we also provide innovative solutions such as interactive video.

Ooyala is Headquartered in Mountain View, CA and has sales offices in New York City and London. Prior to starting Ooyala, Bismarck, Sean and Belsasar (Ooyala's founders) held senior product and engineering roles at Google.

Oh, and the name...

Ooyala means cradle in Telugu, a Southern Indian language. We like the name because it demonstrates what we are doing -- cradling a new form of innovation.
