Acquisition of Veoh
On April 8, 2010, it was announced that Qlipso had acquired substantially all of the assets of online video portal Veoh, which in 2008 had approximately 17 million unique visitors monthly. Qlipso used the acquisition to add a broad and established base of users, along with revenue, to its content-sharing service, while integrating its social-viewing features into Veoh's mainstream online video platform.
Management and Funding
Qlipso is led by an international team of established video game and digital media industry veterans. Qlipso was founded in September 20071 by Ishay Pnueli, a veteran of the video game and technology industries. Jon Goldman, who previously founded and served as CEO of the video game development company Foundation 9 Entertainment, joined Qlipso as CEO in early 20091. Qlipso was incubated and funded by Jerusalem Venture Partners and now headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with additional offices in New York City and Jerusalem, Israel.
