What Vimeo does

Vimeo is a cloud-based video experience platform founded in 2004 and headquartered at 330 West 34th Street in New York City. The platform provides an integrated suite for video creation, hosting, collaboration, distribution, monetization, and analytics, organized around a core platform with modular add-ons including Vimeo AI, Vimeo Review, Vimeo Streaming, Vimeo OTT, Vimeo On Demand, Vimeo Enterprise, Vimeo Central, Vimeo Marketing, and a customizable embeddable player supporting up to 8K HDR Dolby Vision playback. Vimeo serves creative professionals, marketing teams, communications teams, learning and development leaders, content businesses, small businesses, educators, and enterprise organizations, with a cumulative user base cited at 287+ million across 100+ billion video views, 7+ million monthly uploads, and 4+ billion minutes streamed per month.

The business operates on a tiered subscription model (Free, Starter at $13/month annual, Standard at $26/month, Advanced at $76/month annual, and custom Enterprise) with over 90% of approximately $421 million in annual revenue derived from recurring subscriptions, supplemented by usage-based bandwidth overage fees and professional services. Enterprise customers are supported with SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001/27701 certifications, SSO/SAML and SCIM integration, and guaranteed uptime SLAs. Distribution is multi-channel: self-serve product-led growth through vimeo.com, inside sales for mid-market upgrades, field sales for enterprise contracts, mobile apps on iOS and Android, and a developer marketplace with 100+ integrations spanning Adobe, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google, Slack, Shopify, and LMS providers.

Vimeo was acquired by Italian technology company Bending Spoons in November 2025 for approximately $1.38 billion in an all-cash deal at $7.85 per share, delisting from NASDAQ (ticker VMEO) and becoming a privately held subsidiary. Following the acquisition, Vimeo executed substantial global layoffs including the entire video engineering team, wound down its Israeli development center, and saw CEO Philip Moyer depart in February 2026 to lead McGraw Hill. Adam Gross serves as interim CEO. The platform continues to operate, but the post-acquisition operating posture is materially smaller than at the time of the deal.
