RESTON,VA – KZO Innovations, a software company selling streaming video solutions, has inked a technology development agreement with In-Q-Tel that includes an investment in an undisclosed amount. In-Q-Tel is the non-profit strategic investment firm focused on partnering with companies that support the U.S. Intelligence community.
The company raised at least $1.68 million of a targeted $2 million A round led by Valhalla Partners in 2008.
The strategic partnership includes the further development of KZO’s Interactive Video Platform, as well as the introduction and support of these capabilities to the U.S. Intelligence Community.
KZO’s Platform delivers an interactive multimedia environment enabling knowledge exchange and communication.
Utilizing deep-tagging technology for streaming content, KZO’s Platform provides viewers with the ability to annotate and participate in on-going Q&A and threaded micro-blog discussions associated with specific moments-in-time in the videos, as well as to identify and insert links to additional information, documents, video segments and other learning or analytical materials.
The content of these tags is actively indexed and fully searchable across the Platform, providing rapid access to this dynamic universe of material for the entire community of users.
“We continue to witness the rapid proliferation of video and other streaming content on a number of knowledge-management fronts,” said Troy M. Pearsall, In-Q-Tel’s executive vice president of Architecture and Engineering.
“KZO’s innovative approach to asynchronous collaboration, as well as their unifying of synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, will provide new capabilities individually and collectively across a number of agencies in the Intelligence Community.”
Asynchronous communication is is transmission of data without the use of an external clock signal.
