history
Dailymotion was founded in February 2005 by Benjamin Bejbaum as CEO and Olivier Poitrey as CTO . As one of the top 50 sites worldwide, Dailymotion recorded a traffic growth of more than 75 percent in the second quarter of 2007 alone . In July 2007 the site was visited by more than 37 million Unique users and reached over 1.3 billion page impressions . By 2009, 40 million euros in risk capital had been raised . In the first half of 2010, the German site was visited by around two million unique users per month. In 2011 Orange acquired 49 percent of the company for 60 million euros. In early 2013, Orange finally bought the remaining 51% for a further 60 million euros. The attempts by Yahoo to acquire Dailymotion for around 300 million dollars in the spring of 2013, as well as by PCCW , were rejected by the French government, with the wish to keep the video platform in Europe. In June 2015, the French media group Vivendi finally bought Dailymotion for around 217 million euros with an 80% stake. A month later Vivendi increased its stake to 90%.
