Vidme was an American video sharing platform founded since 2014 by Warren Shaeffer and Alex Benzer. Vidme originally was developed in the product lab Bit Kitchen in Los Angeles, California. [undefined] [undefined]

Platform

Vidme is best articulated as a cross between YouTube and Imgur, and heavily influenced by Reddit. Users can upload videos anonymously and are not forced to register for an account. [undefined] Videos that are uploaded to the platform are organized into different categories such as gaming, entertainment, and movies that are similar to subreddits. [undefined] As of December of 2015, Vidme boasts 25 million unique monthly users. [undefined]

History

In April of 2015, Vidme secured $3.2 million in Series A funding.

In December of 2016, Vidme received $6 million in funding led by New Enterprise Associates. [undefined]

On December 1, 2017, after nearly four years of operation, Vidme announced it would shut down on December 15, 2017.

Vidme stopped accepting new uploads or new members at that time.

The site's closure was due to, according to the company, not finding a sustainable model and due to an increase in competition.
