<\/p>\n

I sat down with Brightcove<\/a> CEO Jeremy Allaire at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland last week to talk about his business. <\/p>\n

Brightcove isn’t the sexiest startup out there. They’re a video platform – giving websites the tools they need to host and stream video, for a fee ranging from $100\/month to “six figures per year” for the largest customers. For the most part users never see the Brightcove brand. And Allaire is just fine with that. He just wants happy customers.<\/p>\n

The company launched in 2005, has raised just over $90 million<\/a> in venture capital, and is approaching profitability, he says. Allaire says he wants to build a public company, and is happy being based in Boston. <\/p>\n

\"\"Brightcove competes with newer upstarts like Ooyala<\/a>, although Allaire says Brightcove remains the strongest company in its space. Another competitor, Maven Networks<\/a>, was acquired<\/a> by Yahoo in 2008 for around $160 million. The product was unceremoniously shut down<\/a> by Yahoo a year later. Allaire says they picked up most of Maven’s customers.<\/p>\n

You can see the full interview above. And don’t miss the outtake at the end of the video where Allaire gives some free tech support to a customer. Time Inc. reporter Barbara Kiviat was having some issues uploading a video.<\/p>\n
