Plumbing for the media industry

We build the infrastructure that streaming platforms, podcast hosts and media-heavy SaaS use to manage sessions, sync state and confirm delivery.

Our story

Spun out of a hackathon at the 2024 EU Media Tech Summit. After helping three different streaming startups rebuild the same session-management infrastructure from scratch, we extracted the pattern into a product.

Today we serve 40+ paying customers handling roughly 120 billion media sessions per month across our 17-region edge network. We're a remote-first team of 12 distributed across Amsterdam, Lisbon, Tallinn and Tbilisi, backed by a seed round from European media-focused VCs in Q3 2024.
