With YouTube now delivering 100 million videos per day, is it any wonder that venture capitalists are eager to stake their claims in the Internet/IP video world?
Over at IP Media Monitor today (free registration), we take a look at the amount of venture money that has flowed into IP video start-ups over the past year and find that over $600 million has been invested in the YouTubes and Sling Medias and MobiTVs of the world since around this time last year. Our list (see table below) doesn’t even include investments for web sites or technology companies that focus a lot — but not primarily — on IP video efforts.
It’s a challenge these days to decide what’s a video-related investment or not — RSS pioneer Feedster recently raised an unspecified amount of money, but said that a lot of its new work would focus on video feeds. That made it in.
If anybody sees a company or a funding round that should be on this list, give a shout.
