History

[edit]

Ziggeo was founded by Susan Danziger and Oliver Friedmann in 2013. It launched the same year as a recruitment platform,[5][6] and then pivoted in 2014 to a general video recording API provider[7][8] that supports a variety of use cases and partners.[9] Ziggeo is backed by Albert Wenger of Union Square Ventures.

Ziggeo's API for Video Recording and Playback won the API: World Award for its Music/Video API in 2016 and 2017.[10] Ziggeo was a finalist for the SaaS Award in HR / Recruitment and was a finalist for the SAAS Award in Non-Profits / Education in 2017.[11]

In August 2022, Ziggeo was acquired by Kargo, an ad-tech firm, for an undisclosed sum. [12]
