TV Firm Veoh Raises $12.5 Million; Disney's Eisner Joins Board
San Diego - Veoh Networks, a developer of Internet TV
broadcasting technology, announced on Tuesday that it has raised
$12.5 million in its second round of venture capital financing.
Investors included former Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner's
The Tornante Company, Time Warner, Spark Capital and previous
investor Shelter Capital Partners. In addition to his new firm's
investment, Eisner will take a seat on Veoh's board of directors.
San Diego-based Veoh provides both professional and amateur-grade
technology that enables the distribution of broadcast-quality video
over the Internet, in addition to a Web-based catalog, previews and
community features. "Cable and satellite fundamentally changed the
way television was distributed by creating the capacity for greater
choice in programming," said Eisner. "Veoh revolutionizes television
again by leveraging the Internet to expand broadcast capacity to the
point that every single user, whether an individual or a media
company, can create their own 'channel' and every 'channel' can be
supported by its own business model."

additional distribution channel or for promotional tie-ins, Counts
Media uses it as a kind of remote control required to participate in
real-world entertainment adventures," said investor Matt Goldman.
Counts Media plans to introduce several products and properties in
the coming months, and will use the funds raised to expand its
