If you look at their press releases, they went into commercial preview (whatever that means) in April of 2006. I can't find any evidence of a Brightcove v3 (as VentureBeat points out), so in the end they're going to spend almost 2.5 years without adding significant new functionality.

Indeed lucky them. not sure any of the VCs will be making such investments this year.....BTW - I recently read Matt Asay's post about Kaltura (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-9918865-16.html) the new open source video platform. I am sure that they did not receive even a tenth of such funding....but still are capable of offering a competing solution. I wonder what will the emerging of companies such as them and other open source players I see attending the OSCON conference, do to brightcove's model. Scott.

Investment is high in this one. But Brightcove is Jeremy Allaire's deal, their original intention was to capture ad revenue (a big opportunity), and IP Video was the hottest thing going when they attracted most of that money ( at a great valuation ). Smart of them for capturing all that cash when it was available. Time will tell if a video management infrastructure company can carve out enough value to repay those later round investors. @Michelle – How right you are. Investment is high in this one.

I wonder what type of revenue they have to justify 90Million. I am pretty sure that some of the new coming more open inexpensive, and even open source platforms will capture a big poriton of this growing market.
