Gfycat is a user-generated short video hosting company founded by Richard Rabbat, Dan McEleney, and Jeff Harris. It was a pioneer of the video alternative to GIF revolution in 2013. Gfycat incorporated in 2015 and has since raised $12 million in seed funding.
Currently, Gfycat offers a web platform for uploading and hosting short video content, as well as an iMessage app, an Android app, and the GIF Brewery macOS application for GIF and video creation. It also has integrations with Reddit, the messaging app Tango, Microsoft Outlook, Skype, and WordPress, among others. Gfycat was a finalist for the 2016 Advertising Age Creativity Awards in the "Startup to Watch" category.
The site currently ranks within the top 57 in the U.S, with over 80 million monthly active users. Gfycat's users are primarily concentrated in English-speaking countries, although they have a significant foothold in Europe and Latin America. Gfycat supports sixteen languages, including English, French, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Chinese, (traditional and simplified), Japanese, Korean, and Arabic. Users fall primarily in the 18-35 age range.
Gfycat has offices in Edmonton, Alberta and Palo Alto, California.
