HK-based Dao Lab aims for momentum in video optimization

VCs focus on going to IPO--while a startup's goal is to improve the product, said Kit Tsi (pictured), principal researcher and president at Hong Kong-headquartered video optimization tech provider Dao Lab.

CWHK: How long have you been in video optimization? What did you do before?

Kit Tsin: I started to develop my video optimization product in 2007, the year I founded Dao Lab by myself. But I've been in the field for a long time--I created a multi-media transcoding tool previously and sold it to a US firm.

CWHK: Why the name Dao Lab?

KT: Dao in Chinese means a unifying, ultimate law [that governs the universe]. Through this name I want people to know this is a company founded by a Chinese--and I'm not fond of names that include the word technology.

CWHK: How do you fund the company?
