History
Mux was founded in 2015 by Jonathan Dahl, Steve Heffernan, Matthew McClure, and Adam Brown.[3] Jonathan Dahl and Steve Heffernan are the founders of Zencoder, a cloud encoding company sold to Brightcove in 2012.[4] The name “Mux” is short for “multiplexing,” a reference to combining multiple signals into one in digital media.
Mux has raised a total of $11.8m from Accel Partners, YCombinator, Lowercase Capital, Susa Ventures, SV Angel, and more.[5][3] Mux is member of Heavybit[6] and went through the YCombinator program in 2016.[7][8]
Mux's first product was a quality of service (QoS) analytics platform to measure a viewer's experience while watching video.[2][9] In 2018, Mux announced an API for video streaming[10][11] using per-title encoding,[12] a technique similar to that used by Netflix.[13]
