A video creation platform backed by a host of venture capital funds and pre-IPO investors is headed for the auction block.

The New Zealand start-up 90 Seconds is in discussions with several potential acquirers including a Nasdaq-listed company. There’s no certainty that the transaction will close, but expectations are it could be finalised in the first quarter of next year.
