Vidy is the world's first decentralized ad network, powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Vidy's ad platform allows advertisers to embed video ads directly into hyper-relevant website text, improving user experience, ad conversions and publisher payments.With just a hold, users can now reveal tiny hyper-relevant videos embedded in the text of any page on the web, unlocking a whole new dimension of the internet. All ads are placed with an NLP consensus protocol driven by miners.With a team of veteran engineers, industry-leading advisors and world-class brand partners, Vidy is on it's way to reinventing online advertising, e-commerce, and entertainment.
VidyCoin is Vidy’s ERC20 utility token and the currency of
Vidy’s Ad Ecosystem.
Advertisers purchase ad placements
using VidyCoin and that VidyCoin is received by publishers and
by the miners who run Vidy’s NLP protocol to place those ads.
The Vidy project grew out of Harvard University, where Patrick
Colangelo (CEO) founded the company out of his dorm room and was
president of the Harvard Entrepreneurship Forum.
The Vidy
team has wide ranging industry/technical backgrounds including
Hedge Fund Management (Patrick Colangelo), Private Equity and
Angel Investment (Dan Sullivan), International Investment
Banking (Matthew Lim), Mobile Game Development and Blockchain
development (Jake Rosin), Artificial Intelligence, Augmented
Reality and Blockchain Development (Marco Vanossi), Supply Chain
Logistics (Garrett Wilson), Ad Blocking Extensions (Arria
Owlia), Automotive Software Development and cryptography
(Nicholas Kubiac), Computational Linguistics, Machine Learning
and Artificial Intelligence (Kyubyong Park), Artificial
Intelligence, Computer Vision, and blockchain development (Harry
Yang).
In addition to the industry and technical experience
listed above, each member of the Vidy team was selected for
their experience founding and running their own business, with
several achieving multiple successful exits before joining the
Vidy team.
We have chosen to disrupt the advertising
industry because 1) we recognize the massive economic
opportunity in doing so and 2) we are perfectly positioned to
create something spectacular given our team's collective
natural language, blockchain, and business development
expertise.
Vidy has a world-class advisory team that includes industry
leaders in advertising and publishing. You can find the complete
list of advisors on our homepage here (https://vidy.com).
