History
FORA.tv started the business in 2006 as a forum for the exchange of intelligent ideas and conversation (hence the name fora, plural for forum, and the "library" part of the website) and provided video services to conferences while doing that. They eventually transitioned into solely video services as their business model and over the year's have became the live streaming experts.
In February 2009, FORA.tv partnered with WIRED creating a channel that features videos about the day's most important technological, science, business, and cultural issues - all gathered from leading thinkers, institutions and conferences. In August 2009, FORA.tv was selected for TIME.com's 50 Best Websites of 2009. The site was also featured in a related TIME.com video, "50 Best Websites: 5 You May Not Know," along with Omgpop, Yelp, PopUrls and Boing Boing.
FORA.tv was funded by private investors including William R. Hearst III and Adobe Ventures.
