• Steve Iverson is CEO of Streamload. Born out of his college dorm room, Iverson wanted a better way to send entertainment like video and music, photos and software files across the Internet -- versus trying to transfer files using CDs and storage devices. People are mobile and he felt their personal media should be too. Streamload was thus created based on a concept for his college thesis. Under Iverson's leadership, Streamload was the first company to offer free accounts with 25 GB of free storage, 10 times more than other online services, allowing subscribers to upload their personal videos, digital video recordings, MP3s and photo collections to share with friends and family. In 2006, Streamload MediaMax, the next-generation service, was launched with many new features, including easy full-quality video sharing and photo sharing, a full-featured music locker, and more. Today, Streamload is establishing partnerships with leading companies like the Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, TiVo, D-Link, and iriver America to further its offerings to digital users. In the eight years since the service launched, Streamload has become a leading OEM provider of online storage, media processing, and file transfer services. Today the service has more than 4.5 million users and manages over 450 terabytes of user data (with over a terabyte added every day), and more than 8 billion files. Iverson is dedicated to the providing the most innovative and intuitive space for consumers, and continues to evolve the Streamload service based on the expanding needs of today's digital media users. This includes Streamload's offer for U.S. troops to use its video communications service to connect with family members while they are far from home during the holidays.
