ScreenToaster, easily one of the best web-based screen recording tools out there, is now in the hands of enterprise video platform provider Veodia. The San Mateo, CA based company – backed by $8.3 million in venture capital – has acquired the former for an undisclosed sum and intends to integrate its offering in its enterprise video SaaS suite later this year.
For Paris-based ScreenToaster’s founders Marco Fucci and Elie Curetti this is a remarkable feat, considering the fact that the startup only launched its service in private beta about 8 months ago. Perhaps its fast growth made Veodia notice the team might be onto something: ScreenToaster claims to have seen 40% month-to-month average growth in its user base since it launched its service publicly. Or it could be the French Connection: Veodia happens to be founded by its current CEO Guillaume Cohen, who hails from France.
Regardless, this acquisition makes sense for Veodia. They can now complement their existing offering, which powers high-quality video services for the likes of Sun Microsystems, BEA and Stanford University, with a rapid way for these organizations to capture more basic screen recordings for product demos, tutorials etc.
Been using screentoaster for a while now… (who hasn’t?)
Congrats to Marco and Elie. Job well done!
Well deserved! Congrats!!
Any bets how much they paid?
No, but I’ll put money on the odds that noone cares about your bets.
Great job Marco and Elie, that’s well deserved.
I just started using screen toaster and love it. I am extremely happy for their team.
Good Luck

>40% month-to-month average growth
About how many users are we talking 10, 100, 1000,…?
Any idea if they are going to start charging for the service or what will happen to existing accounts?
great!! Congrats.
What was the acquisition price , any idea ?
The 2nd link does not work..
I think the ScreenToaster app is a smart & well done.
I also think that an “undisclosed sum” in reference to a “remarkable accomplishment” is dumb & not well done.
Screentoaster is the most useful app in the last few years. Great job and congrats!
I hope they keep it free for us!
Thanks,
