Andreessen Horowitz, SV Angel Put $1.7M In The YouTube For Businesses, Vidyard

Y Combinator-backed Vidyard, a 'YouTube for businesses', has raised $1.65 million from Softech VC, Jawed Karim (Co-Founder of YouTube), Y Combinator, SV Angel, Andreessen Horowitz, iNovia Capital, Paul Buchheit, Vivi Nevo, Dennis Kavelman, David Nizkad and others. Vidyard, which launched in August, solves a pain point for businesses who want to use YouTube videos as a marketing tool. Many businesses embed YouTube videos on their sites, but visitors can click through the video to YouTube and off the brand's site ? and those videos also include YouTube's ads and branding. Ooyala and Brightcove both offer professional, enterprise-hosted video platforms but these can be expensive.
