Vimeo, Inc. spun out of IAC and went public on Nasdaq in May 2021 under former CEO Anjali Sud, then was delisted Nov. 24, 2025 after Bending Spoons acquired it at $7.85/share ($1.38 billion). Its enterprise-video, livestream, and creator-monetization tools position it as the primary YouTube alternative on the creator-and-enterprise side of video infrastructure.
Vimeo is the publicly traded video-software-as-a-service company that took itself public on the Nasdaq in May 2021 under then-CEO Anjali Sud, spinning out of IAC after more than a decade as an IAC subsidiary. The company was founded in November 2004 by filmmakers Jakob Lodwick and Zach Klein as an ad-free consumer video-hosting service — a positioning that distinguished it from YouTube from the start — and grew into the broader video-infrastructure platform it operates today, with enterprise-video, livestream, and creator-monetization tools layered alongside the consumer-hosting service.
The Sud-era arc is the reason Vimeo sits in our coverage as a tracked-voice trajectory entity. Sud joined Vimeo in 2014 as Head of Global Marketing, was promoted to General Manager of the core creator business, and was named Chief Executive Officer in July 2017 at age 33. She led the company through the May 2021 Nasdaq IPO and stayed through July 2023, when she left to take the CEO seat at Tubi. The IPO itself was the public-market validation of the enterprise-video pivot — the strategic reframing of Vimeo from a consumer YouTube alternative to an enterprise SaaS company selling video hosting, livestreaming, and analytics into corporate buyers.
Note on public-company status: Vimeo was delisted from the Nasdaq on November 24, 2025, following its all-cash acquisition by Bending Spoons US at $7.85 per share (approximately $1.38 billion total).
