云端视频会议解决方案Blue Jeans获7650万美元E轮融资
为企业用户提供基于云端的跨平台视频会议解决方案提供商 Blue Jean Network 近日获得 E 轮融资，本轮金额为 7650 万美元，由 NEA 领投，Accel Partners、Battery Ventures、Glynn Capital、Norwest Venture Partners 以及前美职棒全明星游击手 Derek Jeter 的风投公司 Quadrille Capital 跟投。
这家公司的云端解决方案帮助公司克服视频会议中跨平台和跨品牌硬件的困难。用户只需要网络加摄像头就能参与视频会议，无论他们是使用桌面系统、软件客户端、思科网真还是 Google Hangout 或者 Skype。
Blue Jeans 成立于 2011 年成立，经过 4 年发展，目前已经为 5000 多家公司超过 2500 万人提供过服务，会议总时长达到 10 亿分钟。在 B 端，Blue Jeans 在原有的跨平台解决方案基础上又添加了语言、视频和文件分享的一体式解决方案，同时为视频会议加入了互动元素，方便用户随时加入、远程报到以及向观众实时广播等。
功能的丰富使 Blue Jeans 的可拓展性得到加强，他们以实时广播功能为基础推出了 Primetime 服务，和圣丹斯电影节、沃顿商学院以及 TED 等机构合作。难怪连前运动员也看上了 Blue Jeans, Derek Jeter 有一家叫做 The Players ‘ Tribune 的网站，专门联合职业运动圈名人制作深度专题，有点像运动垂直领域的 Medium。可以想象在以后的赛后发布会或者体育专栏上，幸运球迷通过自己的电脑与球星在电视上互动的情景。
Video conferencing company Blue Jeans raises $76.5M
Blue Jeans Network, a company with web and native mobile applications for video conferencing, is announcing today a $76.5 million round of funding.
Companies have plenty of options if they want to hold a video conference for employees or partners. There’s LogMeIn’s join.me, Citrix’s GoToMeeting, Cisco’s WebEx, Logitech’s Lifesize, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Skype/Lync, and Zoom, to name a few. Blue Jeans emphasizes its interoperability with Lync, Hangouts, and other services, as well as even hardware systems from Cisco and Polycom. That way, everyone on a call doesn’t have to be logged into the same system.
Acquisitions in this market happen frequently. In April, for instance, Atlassian acquired Blue Jimp.
Blue Jeans customers include Facebook, GoPro, Pandora, and Stanford University.
In December, Blue Jeans launched the Primetime service to broadcast video streams to large audiences.
New Enterprise Associates led the new round in Blue Jeans, which started in 2009 and is based in Mountain View, California. Accel Partners, Battery Ventures, Glynn Capital, Norwest Venture Partners, Quadrille Capital, and former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter also participated.
To date Blue Jeans has taken on $175 million.
