P2P Streaming Goes Live With Octoshape
Danish startup, Octoshape, is a developer of peer-to-peer software that enables live streaming of videos and radio broadcasts. It's been on our radar for a while and we noticed that lately it's been growing its customer reference list.
Last month we mentioned that the Eurovision Song Content used Octoshape's software to broadcast the show live online. But others such as the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships have used it recently, as well as the grand final broadcasts of World eSports Games, an online gaming tournament.
Niche markets to be sure, but the startup claims a 97 percent improvement over the costs of existing streaming methods and the ability to scale up for large audiences, so it has the potential to get bigger.
A media savvy sales team could do a lot with what Octoshape has to offer. Right now pricing plans are based on the size of the customer. Free trials for prospective buyers are available.
Octoshape is venture-backed and was founded in 2003 by two techies: Stephen Alstrup, CEO, and Theis Rauhe, CTO. Investors are Nordic Venture Partners and IVS.
