Grabyo is a video production and publishing platform integrated with the world's leading social networks. Its cloud-based technology is used by rights owners, sports federations and TV networks to create, distribute and monetise live video clips across websites, social media channels and social mobile apps in real time. The Grabyo video platform allows rights holders to activate mobile audiences, drive tune-in and generate revenue from third party sponsors or pay-TV services.
The company was founded in 2013 and now works with over 60 premium rights holders including La Liga, NHL, Eurosport, Sky Sports, the Brit Awards, Wimbledon, FIFA World Cup, Channel 5, ATP World Tour, Ryder Cup, FIA Formula E Championship and UFC.
In October 2015 the company launched technology to help video publishers adapt horizontal 16:9 video into mobile friendly formats such as vertical video and square video.
Grabyo is one of Facebook's partners for video and live streaming, including the new Facebook Live API.
According to global media agency Mindshare (firm), the ability to share live TV clips in real time across social networks is 'a highly significant technological advancement' as it enables brands to engage social media users at scale. Over the course of Wimbledon 2016, clips shared using Grabyo's platform generated more than 48 million video views. In 2016 Grabyo delivered the first competitive sports events streamed live on Facebook, including projects with La Liga, Formula E, Real Madrid and the Caribbean Premier League.
