As a result of this round, Vinny Olmstead, Managing Director of Vocap Investment Partners, will be joining Vydia’s board of directors, bringing with him a deep set of operating and strategic expertise. “Vydia has a significant head start as the category leader in the rapidly expanding video content market. The proliferation of serious content creators coupled with the disruption driven by social media as a distribution channel has created the need for a new kind of technology solution. Vydia had the foresight to recognize and act on this opportunity and is now leading the way with a software solution that is simple and elegant for both creators and companies that manage content creators”, said Olmstead.

Vydia will use this investment to institutionalize and ramp sales, expand product and feature sets, and to further integrate into an additional video, audio, and social platform. In addition, Vydia will double down on its machine learning capabilities to provide creators with intuitive and actionable feedback. These investments will further distance Vydia as the most seamless and robust solution for creators. Building upon its initial focus at the intersection of music and video, Vydia will also expand into additional content verticals.
