OnCircle, through its Gbox product, provided a video monetization and distribution platform that enabled creators to sell their video content directly to consumers. Founded in 2012 by Stefan Roever, Michael Janssen, and Dirk Lueth, the company was based in Redwood City and Mountain View, California. OnCircle's platform, Gbox, allowed creators to host, transcode, and stream video content, offering flexible monetization options such as pay-per-view (PPV), subscriptions, advertising, and fan payments.
The platform was designed as a direct-to-consumer solution, giving creators control over their content and revenue streams. It featured tools for promotion, sales tracking, and analytics to help manage fan engagement. Creators could set fixed prices or allow viewers to choose what to pay. OnCircle secured a total of $4.42 million in funding over two rounds, including a Series A round and a convertible note from investors like Atlantic Bridge. According to Tracxn, OnCircle is a deadpooled company.
