StreamSpot

Founded in 2013 by Brian Duerring, StreamSpot emerged from Cincinnati, Ohio, as a specialized content delivery platform. Duerring, serving as CEO, leveraged his background in information systems, news operations, and content distribution from roles at companies like Time Warner Cable and Cincinnati Bell to shape the company's direction. The firm focuses on providing simplified, automated live streaming services primarily for faith-based organizations, such as churches and synagogues, as well as for community gatherings and other events.

StreamSpot's core business revolves around a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, offering subscription-based access to its platform. The company generates revenue through month-to-month, semi-annual, and annual service plans, with options for promotional offers and discounts. The platform is designed to automate the entire content distribution workflow, from capture to multi-platform delivery, allowing clients to focus on their events rather than the technical complexities of streaming. This is accomplished through its patented StreamSpot Sync® technology, which enables scheduled, 100% automated broadcasts that start and stop based on a user-defined schedule.

The service allows a single broadcast to be syndicated automatically across more than 30 platforms, including Facebook Live, YouTube, Vimeo, Roku, and Amazon FireTV. Within minutes of a live broadcast concluding, an archive is created and made available for on-demand viewing through custom StreamSpot players. This ensures content is accessible on virtually any internet-connected device. Before its acquisition, the platform garnered over 9.6 million views in 2019. In a significant milestone, StreamSpot was acquired by Subsplash, a Seattle-based engagement technology company, on March 24, 2020. The acquisition aimed to integrate StreamSpot's live streaming capabilities into Subsplash's broader suite of tools for churches, which includes mobile apps, digital giving, and media delivery, creating a unified platform for ministries to engage their communities digitally.
