“Today is an important step in further differentiating JW Player’s video monetization capabilities from that of other video platforms”

In June of 2021, JW Player announced it raised $100M from LLR Partners to build subscription and other monetization tools as part of its end-to-end video platform. This acquisition demonstrates JW Player’s ability to execute against its mission of building the best video platform for helping their customers better monetize video content.

“Today is an important step in further differentiating JW Player’s video monetization capabilities from that of other video platforms,” said Dave Otten, CEO and co-founder of JW Player. “With the acquisition of InPlayer, we are now able to combine their best-in-class subscription management, payments, and identity management capabilities with our market-leading advertising enablement capabilities.”
