Live video startup 100ms raises $4.5mn in seed round led by Accel

Video company 100ms said on Tuesday it has raised $4.5 million in a seed-funding round led by Accel and joined by Strive.vc, aiming to use the funds for building a engineering team and improving its products.

100ms provides infrastructure that allows companies to add Zoom-style video conferencing inside their apps. It was founded by the team that built live video infrastructure at Facebook and Disney-Hotstar.

Kshitij Gupta, Aniket Behera and Sarvesh Dwivedi solved these problems while building some of the world’s largest live video infrastructure deployments at Facebook and Disney-Hotstar. They launched 100ms in October 2020 with a view to democratise access to live video infrastructure for everyone.
