VidCoin

Venture Round in 2014
Everyone hates slow loading mobile video ads that block access to content and generally slow things down. Ad latency is one of the biggest problems plaguing programmatic video ads today.

Ad latency represents a very real cost for premium publishers through user attrition, missed ad opportunities and ad blocking. But they can solve the problem of video ad latency. To do so, VIDCOIN has invented a fundamentally different approach to video ad serving that literally flips the current model on its head to achieve absolute zero-latency programmatic mobile video ad delivery both in-app and on the mobile web.

All within a simple package that fits inside publishers’ existing ad stack.
