Entertainment Beyond Borders

Bringing down the language barriers that stand between great entertainment and its fans, wherever they are.

Viki is a leading international video site with TV shows, movies and other premium content, translated into more than 150 languages by a community of avid fans. With over 1 billion videos viewed and nearly 200 million words translated, Viki uniquely brings global prime-time entertainment to new audiences and unlocks new markets and revenue opportunities for content owners. Viki also syndicates its shows with fan-generated subtitles to partners such as Hulu, Netflix and Yahoo!.

Viki is the first and fastest platform for real-time subtitling of video -- from Japanese Anime to Spanish Novelas and the latest Bollywood hits. Community members subtitle their favorite shows into their preferred languages under a Creative Commons license using Viki's integrated platform, which includes revision history and user-generated edits.

Viki, a play on the words “video” and “wiki,” publicly launched in December 2010 and has offices in Singapore, San Francisco and Seoul.

The Team Behind Viki

Viki was born as a joint class project between Harvard and Stanford graduate students who wanted to remove barriers to popular entertainment, regardless of language or country of origin. Today, our team is as diverse as Viki itself -- entrepreneurs, technologists and pop-culture fans from China, Egypt, England, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Venezuela, Vietnam and the United States. We share a passion for discovering and enjoying great content from around the world and building communities of like-minded people.

Viki is backed by leading venture firms Greylock Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Charles River Ventures and Neoteny Labs, among others, as well as strategic investors SK Planet (a subsidiary of SK Telecom) and BBC Worldwide.
