Ron Yekutiel, Chairman, CEO, and Co-Founder of Kaltura, said, “We are excited to acquire Rapt Media and incorporate its unique video-branching technology into our portfolio of video solutions for any organization. Video is the most engaging medium, and videos that are personalized and interactive make for the most lean-forward and engaging experiences of them all. As the leading provider of video solutions for any organization, we are leading the charge in video interactivity and personalization and investing heavily (and acquiring) in the areas of smart video analysis, analytics, and AI tools.
