StreamYard Founders Put $10 Million Behind Livid, the Startup Helping Vimeo Users Escape Before the Next Round of Price Increases

A new ad-free video hosting platform called Livid in Dover, Delaware, has secured $10 million in funding from Geige Vandentop and Dan Briggs, co-founders of StreamYard. StreamYard was built by Vandentop and Briggs before it was sold to Hopin for $250 million. The funding also saw Bending Spoons eventually acquiring StreamYard. Livid has also launched L.O.V.E. (Livid One-click Video Exporter), a migration tool that allows bulk-export of entire Vimeo content for free.
