Kewego was a private, Paris-based internet video sharing company founded in 2003 by Michel Meyer and Olivier Heckmann. It ran a white-label video platform, providing all the software, hardware, and bandwidth to operate a video portal. Videos were converted to Flash format and played in a branded Flash Player, and the company also offered viral video placement services. Kewego served brands such as Orange, eBay, Lycos, M6, and L'Équipe, and operated branded sites including mykewego.com, mykewego.fr, and mykewego.co.uk.

In early 2011, KIT digital acquired Kewego. The company had about 40 employees in 2007. The founders previously built Multimania (founded 1995; floated on the Paris stock exchange in 2000; sold to Lycos for €220 million) and PulseVision (founded 2003; renamed Kewego in 2006).
