Brevity provides breakthrough technology that offers for the first time the ability to simultaneous transcode while transporting video at incredibly fast speeds.

Brevity has taken on the complexity challenge of big data and endless formats.

This powerful combination enables greater utilization - speed- of any network’s capacity and promises to transform file based workflows across the M&E industry.

Led by the entrepreneurial acumen of its founders, Brevity has attracted an eclectic and talented cross-functional team of people from vision sciences, hardware and software engineering, video technology, business operations, and the media and entertainment industry. Brevity continues to push the boundaries of what is possible and ensures sustained technological innovation and excellence in business execution.

As of April 2012, Brevity has raised $7.7MM in angel funding, and an undisclosed investment from The Kraft Group.
