Thought Equity Motion offers cloud-based storage, access, delivery and licensing services for master-quality video via its T3 Platform. The T3 Platform supports storage, access, delivery and monetization for major studios, sports rights holders and other media companies worldwide. Its global footage-licensing marketplace connects video producers with buyers of high-quality sports, news and entertainment content. The company works with clients including BBC Motion Gallery, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, National Geographic, The New York Times and the NCAA. Led by CEO and founder Kevin Schaff and based in Denver, Colorado, the company plans to use new investment to expand in the U.S. and international markets. Investcorp Technology Partners' capital and board representation are intended to support that growth. Thought Equity Motion provides cloud-based video archive management, "smart content" metadata tools and rights-development expertise as a web-based service. Through its platform and global sales force it licenses sports, news, entertainment, editorial and creative content. Customers named in the article include BBC, Paramount, National Geographic, Sony Pictures Entertainment and the New York Times. The company says "tens of thousands" of video producers use its licensing platform daily. Thought Equity recently raised $25 million from Shamrock Capital Advisors. A small portion of that funding was used to pay off an old investor, according to CEO Kevin Schaff.
