What VideoElephant does

VideoElephant is a B2B video solutions provider founded in 2012 in Dublin, Ireland, operating a platform-plus-services architecture built around what it describes as the world's largest premium video content library — over 5 million videos, playlists, and channels from more than 1,000 creators, all rights-cleared and ready for distribution. The core platform aggregates long- and short-form video for web publishers, mobile operators, VOD/IPTV providers, and broadcasters, and is complemented by four integrated solutions: Editorial (audience growth), Advertising (monetization across CTV, FAST, and CTV OOH), Distribution (multi-platform syndication and digital signage), and FAST Managed Services (end-to-end building, scheduling, distribution, and monetization of FAST channels for media brands such as USA Today, New York Post, Entrepreneur TV, Black Enterprise, and Unleashed by DOGTV). Its CTV Connect network extends curated content distribution to 200,000+ screens across all 210 U.S. DMAs.

The underlying technology combines a rights-cleared content management system, a CTV/FAST distribution network, contextual content matching for brand-safe ad placement, and multilingual capabilities via synthetic voice-overs and subtitles in 27+ languages. Notable technical components include the FAST Managed Services operational stack and CTV Connect's out-of-home screen infrastructure, supported by a team spanning Dublin (HQ), New York, and Los Angeles with C-suite, SVP-level commercial leadership, and dedicated heads of content, production, and revenue operations.

VideoElephant makes money through multiple revenue streams: content licensing and syndication fees from publishers and platforms, advertising monetization services across CTV and FAST, managed services fees for operating FAST channels on behalf of media owners, and marketplace commissions on content distribution agreements (e.g., WheelsTV). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting media companies, advertisers, and brands, supplemented by channel partnerships with major CTV platforms (Samsung TV Plus, Roku, Tubi, Plex, LG Channels, Amazon Fire TV) and a referral network of 1,000+ creators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts typical. The company has raised approximately $9.67M across four funding rounds through 2019, led by Act Venture Capital with participation from Enterprise Ireland, Gaingels, AIB Seed Capital Fund, and others, and remains privately held.
