VideoElephant
VideoElephant is a Dublin- and New York-based video content company that sources, licenses, curates and programmes premium video for publishers, streaming services and screens worldwide. It runs a library of millions of rights-cleared video assets from thousands of content providers, and packages that content as single VOD assets, feeds and 24/7 FAST channels, layering on distribution, playout scheduling, monetization and advertising so content owners and buyers can operate video at scale without stitching together multiple vendors.

Stephen O'Shaughnessy is the founder and CEO of VideoElephant, a Dublin- and New York-based company that aggregates millions of professionally produced video clips from providers like Reuters, Bloomberg and Al Jazeera and licenses them to publishers, broadcasters and ad-tech platforms. He started the company in 2012 after shooting 500 travel videos of his own and finding there was no single marketplace to sell them. He has spent roughly 25 years building businesses in music, digital publishing, digital advertising and video production, and raised a EUR 5.5m Series A in 2019 led by Act Venture Capital to chase his stated goal of running the biggest video library in the world.
