"Our goal is to make it easy for businesses of all sizes to deliver deeper-than-physical live video experiences within their products in less than half-dozen lines of code."

On the investment, Anirudh Singh, managing director at Falcon Edge's Alpha Wave Incubation, said, "By abstracting the complexities of video streaming, 100ms has created a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use product for companies to be able to add high-end, live engagement tools in a cost-effective manner. The market for this is global and through its differentiated GTM, 100ms is poised to be the market leader in this space."

With this round of funding, the company aims to help developers build and deploy enterprise-class video applications in hours.
