Developer-focused video platform Mux achieves unicorn status with $105M funding

alex_c5y ago· 2 in thread

I'm evaluating video platforms for a new project right now, and Mux is one of the options.

It looks like a crowded field with a big range of offerings, but also some very direct competitors. I'm curious what sets Mux apart from the others!

The "Show HN" thread from 2018 is a good read.

Hey Alex - try us out! I think you'll find some significant differences between us and others.

In general, we put a lot of work into performance, developer experience, product flexibility, and support.

Appreciate the reply!

Mux is definitely on our shortlist, the website and developer documentation made a great first impression. Very clear and easy to understand, the developer focus is obvious.

Really excited by all the incredible things are customers are building with video, and proud of our team. (Speaking of which, ahem: https://mux.com/jobs/)
