What Veset does

Veset is a London-based, private SaaS provider of cloud-native linear TV channel playout and management software, founded in 2011 and serving broadcasters, media-content owners, managed service providers, and technology partners globally. Its portfolio centers on three products — Nimbus (enterprise cloud playout with advanced multi-channel, multi-user, SCTE-35 frame-precise switching), Stratus (simplified linear channel management for smaller teams), and AdWise (in-video picture-in-picture advertising) — built on a microservices, container-based architecture deployed on AWS (EC2, S3, Kubernetes, MediaConnect, MediaLive, Rekognition) with multi-cloud ingest support (Azure Blob, Google Storage). The platform handles ingest through distribution, supporting codecs including MPEG2, AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265, ProRes, and JPEG-XS, with output to HLS, RTMP, SRT, Zixi, AWS CloudFront, and traditional broadcast transports, and distribution reach into Samsung TV Plus, Pluto TV, Twitch, Sky, Vodafone, Eutelsat, Rakuten, Roku, and YouTube TV.

Veset monetizes primarily through recurring SaaS subscriptions with flexible billing (annual, monthly, daily, or hourly), with FAST channel playout starting at $499/month and enterprise Nimbus on quote-based pricing. Go-to-market combines a product-led self-serve motion (free trials, 200+ trials milestone as of May 2026), enterprise field sales for advanced deployments, AWS Marketplace listings for Stratus, AdWise, and Nimbus, and channel/white-label relationships with managed service providers and technology partners — including ITOCHU for Asia-Pacific distribution. Anchor customers span Siminn (sports), Play (entertainment, since 2015), Anthem Sports & Entertainment, Fashion TV, Webedia, Medici TV, and Somos TV, alongside integrations with leading traffic systems (WideOrbit, Broadview, PebbleBeach) and ad insertion tooling (SSAI providers via SCTE-35 and HLS cues).

The company is privately held with no parent organization, having raised approximately $6.35M across three funding rounds (2013, 2017, 2020), the last led by Play. Veset holds ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certifications (2024), is a member of IABM and DPP, and participates in industry events such as NAB Show. Leadership includes CEO Igor Krol, Chairman Māris Gailis, and CTO Gatis Gailis. With 11-50 employees, the company operates as a focused, capital-efficient specialist in the cloud-playout segment of broadcast technology.
