About

VideoSurf was a San Mateo-based video search and discovery company founded in 2006 that developed AI and computer vision technology to enable frame-by-frame video search across TV episodes, movies, and web clips.

VideoSurf raised $28 million in total funding, including a Series C round in 2011 led by Pitango, with participation from Verizon Ventures. Microsoft acquired VideoSurf in November 2011 for approximately $70–100 million to enhance its Xbox video search capabilities.
