Company:Justin.TV
Justin.tv, one of the biggest internet start-up communities for broadcasting, watching and interacting around with live videos, was initiated by Justin Kan and supported Emmett Shear, Michael Seibel and Kyle Vogt in March 2007. San Francisco based Justin.tv has been funded by Y Combinator,Alsop-Louie Partners and Draper Associates. They approached Y Combinator while they were in the final year at Yale University. The funding helped Justin and Emmett continue working on Kiko, the Javascript web calendaring application on which they developed Justin.TV.
Initially, Justin.tv was a single channel founded by Justin Kan, who would broadcast his life 24/7 and promote lifecasting. In 2007, he closed the channel and re-launched the current popular network with thousands of various channels. At JustinTV, people are free to broadcast as well as watch unlimited number of free videos and they do not have to register for that. Videos that contain offensive content are only accessible to registered people who are over the age of 18.

As of April 2012, JustinTV features over 3,500 live channels.
