23 The Visual Sharing Company is a bootstrapped, privately held company that provides visual sharing tools for organizations and individuals. The company was founded by Danish serial entrepreneur and investor Thomas Madsen-Mygdal, CTO Steffen Christensen and Guan Yang[1]. Company's name derives from an intriguing statistical paradox called the Birthday problem.
As of early 2013, 23 is providing video technology and services for over 250 organisations in 16 different countries. The company has offices in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo.
History
[edit]The company was started in 2003 with a mission to help organizations and individuals share and express visually on the web. It's first product was 23 Photo Sharing, a Flickr like Web 2.0 photo sharing site for individuals.
In September 2008, the company introduced a new product - Visualblog. The product aimed to help organizations share their visual material (photo and video) with their web audience and integrate their visualblogs with the rest of their web presence.
The product later evolved and launched as 23 Video in 2010[2] - companies' current flagship product.
Products
[edit]23's current main offering is 23 Video - an online video platform that enables organizations to publish, manage, share and analyze their video content.
The main difference from other similar products is the ability for organizations to easily create fully customized video websites and integrate them with the rest of their web presence.
