创作价值1美元.IPO后240亿美元
创作 has been valued at $1.24 billion after floating on the NASDAQ, 15 years after launching. The enterprise video company, which is partner and competitor to web video tech like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, also raised $150 million to accelerate 市场营销 and sales.
"This is a veteran company, 这是一场马拉松, not a hundred-meter sprint," said CEO Ron Yekutiel speaking to financial news site MENAFN.
创作 says its 2020 revenue was approximately $120 million, with revenue growth steadily accelerating, achieving 46% YoY growth in the first quarter of 2021.
The company says its estimated total addressable market is $55 billion.
以色列公司, 以KLTR交易, made an earlier proposal to IPO last April, but had to defer the offering because of the collapse in the global equity market, Yekutiel told MENAFN.
"The company is growing fast,耶库铁尔说, who described the company's modular platform, as "like Lego for video: a variety of different products for different video purposes, 比如教学, or sales and 市场营销. The system uses every kind of video capability, real-time, live broadcast, on demand.
"The video revolution has just started," he added. "In most enterprises they are only scratching the surface of video's capabilities. The coronavirus accelerated the trend, and raised awareness, and budgets."
He said the firm had invested more in development than in 市场营销, until now.
"Now, from a position of strength, we will increase investment in 市场营销. The company also intends to expand in AI, to launch new products, and to enter new markets, among them remote medicine.
He cited Zoom and Teams as indirect competitors in the video collaboration market.
"We don't try to replace them in enterprises. 与我们, video is a means of learning, 市场营销, carrying out customer service—more integrated products with high connectivity in the enterprise. 在很多情况下, content created on Zoom goes onto our platform, which manages all the video in the organization. And so, in the pandemic, as the use of Zoom increased, the use of 创作 increased as well."
创作 was founded in 2006 by Yekutiel, Dr. michael Tsur博士. Shay David, and Eran Eitam.
