Piksel: Streaming Technology Innovator

Piksel pioneered a white-label streaming platform, anticipating industry trends that would later define modern streaming services. The company was acquired by a financial investor in 2013.

How We Helped

As a result of the media industry moving towards proprietary content delivery solutions, Piksel core business declined. Piksel’s investors approached VideoLabs because of our expertise in video and ability to quickly recognize the company’s early contributions to streaming. VideoaLabs was able to structure a transaction that enabled a rapid acquisition with minimal input from the company.

VideoLabs leveraged its media industry connections and expertise to secure licensing deals, and continue to work with the founders as technical experts across cloud and content protection. 

Licensing Company

A leading intellectual property company acquires and licenses technology patents in standards-based technologies. Among their hundreds of patents, the company owned non-core video coding and decoding patents essential for enhancing digital device experiences.

They selected VideoLabs for their expertise in video technology licensing and established industry relationships. VideoLabs quickly integrated the portfolio into its licensing pipeline, securing agreements across digital media, software, and consumer electronics sectors. The company continues to receive a share of licensing proceeds generated by VideoLabs.
