Jaman.com was a movie discovery and streaming service headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company was founded by Gaurav Dhillon, who also co-founded the Silicon Valley data integration company, Informatica.
Initially, Jaman operated as a video-on-demand platform, allowing users to watch content through a downloadable peer-to-peer (P2P) client. The service specialized in foreign and independent films, offering both download rentals and free, ad-supported streaming options. It secured deals with several major and independent film distributors, including Lionsgate Films, Paramount Digital Entertainment, BBC Worldwide America, and Eros International, to build a diverse library of international, independent, and studio films.
The platform later evolved its model to focus on movie discovery. It utilized a 'mood finder' technology that enabled users to browse and explore films available across various internet platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. This positioned Jaman as an aggregator and a search tool for finding where to watch movies online. The company had one institutional investor, Dhillon Capital.
