About Zattoo
Some facts and figures on Zattoo for people in a hurry:
- Founded in 2005
- Service currently launched in Denmark, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK
- Offices in Ann Arbor, Michigan/USA and Zurich, Switzerland
So much for the basics. But that’s not all by far:
A nostalgic look back
In June 2006, Zattoo launched its service in Switzerland. A few days before the soccer World Cup, the Swiss started downloading the Zattoo player, which enabled them to watch four TV channels on their computer.
So far, we’ve enlarged our channel offering in Switzerland to 60, and also launched in Denmark (April 2007), Spain (June 2007), Germany (September 2007), the UK (December 2007), and France (January 2008).
It’s nice to see that our efforts are recognized every now and then. In 2006 Zattoo was one of the ten winners of the Venture business plan competition, and in March 2007 Red Herring awarded us one of their – well – Red Herring awards. And in June 2008 eco, the German association of Internet business, awarded Zattoo the innovation prize for outstanding and innovative achievements in the Internet industry.
Last, but honestly not least, we’d like to thank all of you. For believing in us, for downloading our player and using it and giving us feedback and positive as well as critical input and thus cheering us on and challenging us to get better and better. We couldn’t have done it without you, folks.
