Fliqz has more than 18,000 customers for its white-label plug-and-play video solutions for SMBs, including realtors, insurance agents, and car dealerships among many others. Fliqz's customers pay the company a premium for hosting their online videos in a player that is fully customizable and brandable.

CEO Benjamin Wayne claims the online video platform provider is revenue positive on each new customer, and will be profitable as a company sometime in the next year. Sales are now mostly inbound, and Fliqz has seen 100 percent revenue increases for the past six quarters, according to Wayne.

Fliqz is an important player in the online video realm because they have carved out a nice niche in offering SMBs a value-driven video offering that is very cost-effective. However, the company also has excellent breadth in its portfolio, serving small sites with basic features, up to military.com, which receives millions of page views and video streams a month.
