Viki is a video streaming website based in Singapore that offers on-demand streaming video of TV shows, movies, and music videos from around the world. The company has offices in Singapore, San Francisco, Indonesia, and Seoul, South Korea.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvTh7E_ck4Q〕
The name Viki is a play on the words video and Wiki, drawing similarities to those companies' use of volunteers for content management.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crunchbase.com/company/viki )〕 The company won the Crunchie award for best international start-up company in January 2011.
==History==
Razmig Hovaghimian, Changseong Ho and Jiwon Moon founded Viki in 2007.〔 Funding for the company originally came from Neoteny Labs, a Singapore start-up fund headed by Joichi Ito, and from the co-founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443921504577643773810338032.html )〕 The company moved to Singapore in 2008 to take advantage of generous government backing and the city-state’s role as a pan-Asian hub. In December 2010, Viki exited the beta phase of its software and made its services available to the general public. In September 2013 it was reported that the company was being acquired by the Japanese company Rakuten for $200 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://allthingsd.com/20130901/exclusive-japans-rakuten-acquires-viki-video-site-for-200-million )〕
