Encoding.com is a cloud-based video encoding and processing provider founded in 2008. The company offers cloud video encoding services to media companies and online video distributors. Encoding.com has run lean and has been careful not to raise excessive capital. It currently has about 50 employees and expects to double headcount over the next year. New funding will be used to ramp up sales and engineering and to expand internationally. The company is exploring tighter integrations and potential hybrid SaaS offerings with larger video-processing vendors. Encoding.com provides cloud-based encoding services focused on ultra-high-quality, long-form video content such as movies and TV shows. The company built and launched an EDC Private Cloud to speed uploads and processing for large mezzanine files, investing in its own hardware to handle premium content. It has spent more than $1 million building private-cloud infrastructure in a data center in Oakland and pairs that with public-cloud bursting to create multiple renditions for adaptive streaming. Encoding.com has struck partnerships with Aspera, Dolby, and Google’s Widevine to accelerate transfers and ensure output quality and security. The EDC Private Cloud has run in beta with studio partners and is intended to win larger Hollywood and TV network customers. The company doubled revenue over the prior year and says it expects to triple revenue in 2012. Encoding.com is a San Francisco, CA–based provider of a SaaS video encoding service.

Led by president Jeff Malkin, Encoding.com targets publishers and developers with its cloud encoding platform.
