Xumo

The company runs a two-sided platform centred on free, ad-supported streaming television and a connected TV operating system distributed through smart TVs and streaming devices. On the consumer side, it offers free access to hundreds of linear FAST channels and extensive on-demand content, delivered via an app, smart TV OS and HDMI streaming boxes, with no subscription or account requirement. This drives audience scale and viewing time.

On the commercial side, the company packages that viewing inventory and its partner channels into an advertising offering, providing direct and programmatic access to connected TV ad slots and higher impact sponsorship placements, including home-screen positions on its OS and devices. It also offers an enterprise advertising management solution (X-AMS) used by channel and platform partners to manage and monetise their own FAST inventory. Value is created by aggregating content and distribution, improving ad fill and yield for channel partners, and giving advertisers a single point of entry into a large pool of FAST/CTV inventory. Hardware and OS distribution via branded TVs and streaming boxes extends platform reach, with additional revenue from device economics and business-use subscriptions for commercial deployments.

Xumo, LLC is a United States–based streaming media company founded in 2011 that operates a free, ad-supported television (FAST/AVOD) service and a connected TV operating system available on smart TVs and streaming devices. Its consumer-facing products include a free streaming app/service, smart TVs running its OS, and HDMI streaming hardware, all designed to aggregate free ad-supported channels and third-party subscription apps in one interface.

The company monetises primarily through advertising sold against viewing on its free streaming service and connected TV surfaces, and secondarily via device/TV sales and a low monthly fee for certain business deployments of its streaming hardware. Its commercial customers are advertisers, agencies, FAST channel owners and distribution partners buying CTV inventory or using its ad management solution, as well as business venues and MVPD partners using its commercial streaming boxes; end-consumers access the content and devices largely at no recurring subscription cost.
