Gunzoo, founded by Toshikazu Shinohara, builds Fabric Video, a cloud-based platform that combines multiple video bitstreams into a single, browsable stream so users can navigate thousands of videos visually. Fabric Video supports over 1,200 platform-agnostic H.264/AVC videos and provides zoomable video-wall context navigation to help users find specific scenes and enable media publishers to present themed video walls. The product is compatible with web browsers and mobile phones and includes sharing of favorite lists to increase reach and time spent browsing. The company is planning a concierge video suggestion service in the near future. Gunzoo intends to monetize via software licensing and by pursuing online video advertising with "less annoying" ads, citing $4.3 billion U.S. and $5.5 billion Japan market figures. The company has received $1.5 million in funding and launched Fabric Video at TechCrunch Disrupt.
