SWARMIFY, INC.
MELBOURNE, FLORIDA

We’re passionate about making the internet better. Internet media giants like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon know how to deliver video. Their playback experiences are generally pleasant with quick load times and very few stall-outs. But they also employ hundreds of engineers who eat, sleep and breathe video delivery. We understand that not all companies have the resources to devote this much focus toward video streaming. That’s why we built SmartVideo. With SmartVideo, any business can deliver a professional-grade video experience on its site, with no video delivery expertise required. Who is Swarmify? Swarmify is a team with a passion for making the Internet better. At this point, the best-quality video streaming is highly proprietary and locked down by the biggest names in the industry, making it nearly impossible for the average business owner or developer to have a professional, clean video experience on their site. That makes for crummy experiences across the Internet for site owners and users alike. We wanted to change that, so we formed Swarmify to bring professional video streaming to businesses everywhere.
