Jilion, a Swiss start-up, has developed the Sublimevideo technology, the world’s first cloud-based HTML5 video player framework, a unique solution delivering all of the benefits of HTML5 video without the associated complexity.
The Jilion team will help Dailymotion connect users, content producers and advertisers on an unprecedented viewing experience on desktop, mobile, tablets and TV.
Mehdi Aminian and Zeno Crivelli, co founders of Jilion say: “We had some connections with potential buyers but LD&A Jupiter’s network of contacts and experience in leading international transactions was instrumental in exposing our company at the right level and initiate discussion during the negotiation phase particularly. From the preparation of the documentation to the signing of the transaction, their work was key in setting the tone and pace of the process.”
Marc Deschamps, Managing Partner and co-founder of LD&A Jupiter, comments: “This transaction proves again that European young bright university engineers and entrepreneurs, in this case directly out of EPFL (Lausanne Polytechnic), can create world class innovative technologies. Well done!”
