Wazee Digital (formerly T3Media, Inc.) offers cloud-based storage, access, and licensing for enterprise-scale video libraries. Through its licensing platform and global sales force, the company licenses sports, news, and creative footage to producers in advertising, entertainment, publishing, and emerging media. In April 2012, the company changed its name from Thought Equity Motion to T3Media, supposedly to represent the three core tenets of the business: storage, access and licensing.[1]

T3Media works with global media companies, including BBC Motion Gallery, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, National Geographic, The New York Times, and the NCAA.

Kevin Schaff, founder and CEO of T3Media, established the business in 2003 and is responsible for overall strategy and business development across the company’s two business lines—Platform and Licensing.

Platform

T3Media’s Platform provides a range of video storage, access and licensing services for large-scale sports, news, and entertainment libraries.[2] With the company's T3 Library Manager[3] product, clients can search, preview, and deliver content in most major file formats through a web browser.

Licensing

T3Media’s footage Licensing storefront[4] provides sports, news, entertainment and creative footage for producers in advertising, entertainment, publishing and emerging media.

Offices

Headquartered in Denver, T3Media has a "digital refinery" in Cheyenne, Wyoming and offices in Los Angeles, New York and London. In the Burbank, California office, Wazee Digital owns and operates a Scanity film scanner.

Investors

T3Media’s investors include Adams Street Partners, Investcorp Technology Partners, Shamrock Capital Advisors, Syncom Venture Partners, Appian Ventures, and Vista Ventures. In August 2011, T3Media announced a $25 million investment from Shamrock Capital Advisors[5] to support the continued growth of the company’s technology platform, the expansion of its cloud storage infrastructure, and the ability to service customers globally. In January 2012, Investcorp Technology Partners invested a total of $28 million in T3Media.[6]
