Mike Hudack’s Summary
I'm a co-founder and the CEO of blip.tv, where you'll find the best shows of the Web. We provide services to people and production companies that are creating compelling episodic Web video -- whether they call them "TV shows on the Web," podcasts or videoblogs.
TechCrunch says that "blip.tv tops them all," PC World says we're the best video site on the Web, and comScore reports that blip.tv is the fastest growing video sharing service in the world.
We offer content creators a stable technology platform, a fast-growing destination site, a massive distribution network and monetization services.
Mike Hudack’s Experience
-
Founder & CEO
Blip Networks
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Internet industry)
March 2006 — Present (2 years 7 months)
Founder and CEO of blip.tv, the world's leading distributor of high quality Internet shows. PC World says that blip is "online video done right," and everyone from Walt Mossberg to TechCrunch have sung our praises.
Our view is simple: There are lots of independent content creators and Web studios that are great at producing shows, but in order to be successful they need technology, distribution, marketing and advertising sales. They generally don't have the scale to have these services in-house, but because we work with thousands of shows we can offer those services in exchange for an advertising revenue share.
In addition to our primary business, our technology powers CNN iReport and a wide range of other traditional media company endeavors into user-generated content. -
