A new marketplace: Nimia offers one-stop shop for managing and licensing professional video - GeekWire
Summary
The company today also announced a $500,000 seed round led by investors like Rudy Gadre, Greg Bennett and Adobe veteran/former RealNetworks CEO Thomas Nielsen. They have created a powerful solution to bridge the needs of producers and their clients.” Once McIntosh realized the opportunity for Nimia, he reached out to Eric Harrison, an old college friend from Montana State who was at law school at the University of Washington. With McIntosh’s wealth of first-hand experience in the media industry and Harrison’s business background and intellectual property knowledge, the co-founders had an ideal combination of skills to start something like Nimia. Lucinda Stewart, a former VC who specialized in digital media at Seattle’s now-defunct OVP Venture Partners, is an advisor to Nimia and sees great potential for the startup. With a strong group of angels and an advisory board that includes people like Stewart, Paul Weiskopf (former SVP of M&A at Adobe) and Jeff Bell (former Xbox marketing exec), the company seems well on its way.
