CinemaNow - Company Profile

CinemaNow is a leading over-the-top (OTT) provider of on-demand streaming media available to viewers in North America and Europe. The company, founded in 1999, is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. As a video-on-demand (VOD) and electronic-sell-through (EST) platform, CinemaNow allows consumers to purchase, rent and view film and TV content from a world-class content library available on over 105 million enabled devices from 350 different device models including Roku, Chromecast, PlayStation, Xbox, Smart TVs, Apple iOS, Android, Samsung, and others. The CinemaNow library contains approximately 55,000 feature-length films, shorts, music concerts, and television programs from all major studios and networks. CinemaNow provides unparalleled access to premium content and is updated weekly with an average of 150 new titles, including next-day TV and access to early film releases before the content becomes available on DVD or subscription services like Netflix. CinemaNow's recent launches of applications on Roku, Chromecast, Xbox One, Google Nexus Player, and Apple Watch demonstrate its role as an innovator in the OTT market. The company's last investment of $20.30M in Series E took place on 13 July 2006 and involved investors such as Cisco Investments, Index Ventures, Menlo Ventures, TransCosmos, EchoStar, and Lionsgate. CinemaNow's expansive content library and strategic partnerships make it a strong contender in the digital media and internet industries, positioning the company as a promising prospect for further growth and development.
