Spark Video Ad Day
Yesterday we held an event in NYC for all of our internet video-related portfolio companies including 5Min, Veoh, KickApps, Buzzwire & Next New Networks. The kind folks at Goodwin Proctor let us use their conference room.
We had a variety of different advertising networks and technology come in as well and talk to our companies. We heard from the folks at ScanScout, Tremor, AdMeld, Inform, Advertising.com, Microsoft and Adap.tv. They shared their insights and feedback about this market and their solutions. We talked about challenges and opportunities with professional, amatuer and UGC video.
Over lunch we were also joined by our friends Jon Miller, former CEO of AOL/now at Velocity, Beth Ann Eason formerly with Yahoo, Jonathan Shapiro, CEO of MediaWhiz, formerly with DoubleClick and Eileen Naughton from Google.
It was an excellent event and many interesting discussions. I’m also pleased to see that several of our portfolio companies discovered ways that they can help each other.
Many thanks to everyone that came and participated.
