Livid: $10 Million Backing For Video Hosting Platform Targeting Vimeo Users With Migration Tool

Livid, a newly launched ad-free video hosting platform for creators and small businesses, has secured $10 million in committed funding from StreamYard co-founders Geige Vandentop and Dan Briggs. The investment comes as the company introduces a new migration tool designed to help users move their video libraries away from Vimeo amid anticipated price increases. Alongside the funding, Livid debuted L.O.V.E., short for Livid One-click Video Exporter, a free tool that lets users bulk-export entire Vimeo libraries, including folders and metadata. The tool is designed to eliminate the need for manual downloads and re-uploads while allowing users to preserve folder structures and sharing permissions when migrating directly to Livid. The company positions itself as a response to what it describes as a recurring pattern following platform acquisitions, where prices rise, and users face barriers to leaving due to content lock-in. Livid emphasizes data portability as a core principle, enabling users to retain full control over their video libraries without adopting its platform. Livid’s founding team includes former StreamYard employees, many of whom experienced similar changes following that company’s acquisition. The team built Livid as an alternative for users seeking more transparent pricing and greater control over their content. The company’s flagship

Video Startup Livid Raises $10M From StreamYard Founders, Targets Vimeo Users With …

A new entrant is positioning itself as an alternative in the video hosting market following recent changes at Vimeo.  Livid, an ad-free video hosting platform for creators and small businesses, has raised up to $10 million from Geige Vandentop and Dan Briggs, the co-founders of StreamYard. The investment reflects the duo’s continued involvement in the video infrastructure space after StreamYard’s ownership changes. Vandentop and Briggs built StreamYard into a live-streaming platform with more than 100,000 paying customers and over $30 million in annual recurring revenue before selling it to Hopin for $250 million in 2021. In April 2024, Italian tech conglomerate Bending Spoons acquired StreamYard as part of its purchase of Hopin’s assets and, according to Vandentop and Briggs, laid off the company’s entire team. Since then, Bending Spoons has expanded its presence in the video and creator tools market. In the latter half of 2025, the company acquired Vimeo for $1.38 billion. Subsequent layoffs affected multiple teams, including the video division, according to social media posts from employees. A spokesperson for Bending Spoons confirmed the reductions to Business Insider but did not disclose their scope. The cuts followed an earlier workforce reduction of roughly 10% in September 2025. The Italian company

Jonathan Majors’ Comeback Movie Faces On-Set Controversy After Shocking Accident

Jonathan Majors' comeback movie with The Daily Wire is drawing fresh attention-but not for the reasons many expected. Just weeks after anticipation began building around the actor's return to the big screen, new reports reveal a serious on-set incident and growing concerns from crew members working on the production. According to multiple reports, Majors and co-star JC Kilcoyne were involved in an accident while filming an action scene for the upcoming Daily Wire project. The two actors reportedly fell through an unsecured glass window from about six feet high, after a pane of tempered glass-intended for a later stunt-was mistakenly left loosely in place. The incident was captured on video, quickly spreading online and raising questions about safety protocols on set. Kilcoyne reportedly suffered injuries that required stitches to his hands, though representatives later confirmed he is "doing well" and receiving proper care. There has been no official statement from Majors' team regarding the incident as of this writing. However, the accident appears to have been a tipping point in a larger situation unfolding behind the scenes. Crew members had already been raising concerns over working conditions before the fall occurred. Shortly after, members of the International Alliance of Theatrical

Vimeo Axes Quarter Of Midtown Staff After Billion-Dollar Takeover – Hoodline

Vimeo is getting a lot quieter in Midtown. The video platform is preparing to cut about 25% of its New York City staff, zeroing in on employees at its Manhattan offices and adding to a string of post-acquisition shakeups. The move comes just months after the company was taken private and follows earlier, deeper rounds of layoffs. For New York customers and creators who lean on Vimeo’s enterprise tools, it is another question mark over local support and day-to-day operations. As reported by Crain's New York Business, Vimeo plans to eliminate roughly a quarter of its city workforce, with affected employees based in the company’s Herald Square offices at 330 W. 34th St. The piece, published April 2, 2026, credits CoStar for the building detail and cites commercial real estate sources on the scale of the cuts. Vimeo agreed in September 2025 to be bought by Milan-based Bending Spoons in an approximately $1.38 billion cash deal, and the transaction closed later that year. TechCrunch has traced the buyer’s string of acquisitions and highlighted its track record of rapid post-purchase reorganizations. That reorganization has already included sweeping job cuts. Reporting around a January 20, 2026 round said large portions of Vimeo’s

Tapping into underserved audiences: Five things to know about FloSports’ growth strategy

In a sports media landscape dominated by billion-dollar rights deals and global competitions, FloSports has taken a fundamentally different approach. Rather than competing for the biggest properties, the US company has built its business by focusing on what it calls “the other 99 per cent” – in other words, the vast ecosystem of underserved sports and passionate fan communities.   At SportsPro New York in March, chief executive and co-founder Mark Floreani outlined how a company that started with a US$10,000 investment and a van has grown into a profitable platform reaching tens of millions of users. The journey reflects a broader shift in how sports media value is created. While top-tier leagues continue to scale globally, there is a parallel opportunity emerging in fragmented, highly engaged communities that have historically been overlooked.   FloSports’ model is built on a simple premise: passion drives monetisation. Fans of sports like wrestling, cheerleading or college athletics may not deliver mass audiences, but they offer deep engagement and willingness to pay for access, content and community. The challenge is not demand, it is infrastructure.   Over the past two decades, FloSports has invested in building that infrastructure, from rights aggregation and production tools to distribution
