What they do

Problem

Developers struggle to reliably encode, stream, and analyze video performance across devices without complex infrastructure and expertise.

Solution

Mux provides API-first video streaming, encoding, storage, delivery, and real-time quality-of-experience analytics via Mux Video and Mux Data.

Who it's for

Software development teams building applications that upload, stream, or analyze video.

Founders

Jon Dahl
Founder/CEO

Jon is a former engineer and current startup founder at Mux (video for developers). He built software early in the life of Mux, but accidentally dropped the production database and was made CEO. Before Mux, Jon was co-founder at Zencoder until the company was acquired. He’s proud to say he never dropped the production database at Zencoder.

Adam Brown
Founder

Co-founder and CTO. Previously worked at multiple companies building large scale video streaming, transcoding, and 3D rendering cloud systems. Liked doing that so much, he decided to do it all again from scratch at Mux.

Founder of Zencoder (YC W'10, acquired) and Mux (YC W'16). Creator of the popular web video player Video.js. Father of 2 kids, 3 months apart in age, same biological mother (figure that one out).
