Dmitry Shapiro founder and CEO of Veoh - Dmitry started Veoh with a very short to-do list: First, democratize. Open the business of television-once strictly a members-only deal-to a virtual community of broadcasters. Second, connect those broadcasters with new, global audiences, hungry for a limitless world of compelling programming to fill every niche interest, and desire. Before he imagined Veoh, Dmitry built Akonix Systems, one of the leading P2P network security companies with over 1.5 million deployed enterprise licenses in companies such as Viacom, Disney, Newscorp, and Cingular. Before that, Dmitry led the technology groups at CollegeClub, a 4 million member online college community and Fujitsu Telecommunications.

 

Justin Kan Founder of Justin.TV - Founded in October 2006, Justin.tv is the largest online community for people to broadcast, watch and interact around live video. With more than 41 million unique visitors per month and 428,000 channels broadcasting live video, Justin.tv is the leading live video site on the Web, enabling users to create real-time connections with others around the world. Headquartered in San Francisco, Justin.tv is funded by: Y Combinator, Alsop Louie Partners and Draper Associates.
