Substream

Substream offers an embeddable, white-label interactive live streaming platform designed for businesses to control their revenue generation and fan engagement. The service allows clients to take ownership of their monetization channels and data, providing a larger share of the revenue compared to traditional streaming platforms. Substream's business model is built around providing a comprehensive suite of tools for monetization, including pay-per-view, subscriptions, in-stream commerce through Shopify integration, and advertising.

The platform serves a diverse market, including sports leagues, music festivals, corporate conferences, and nonprofits. Key features include ultra-low latency 4K streaming, AI-powered automatic video highlights, simulcasting to major social media platforms, and tools for audience interaction. For enterprise clients, Substream ensures security and compliance with standards like SOC 2, GDPR, and PCI DSS. The platform is designed for ease of use, enabling users to launch a custom-branded streaming service with their own domain and logo without needing coding skills.

Introduced by Jesse, an ML engineer with experience at Google and Meta, Substream aims to solve the problem of streaming platforms taking a significant cut of revenue and withholding audience data. As of late 2024, the company was reported to be live with eight design partners, including emerging sports leagues and two of the largest online betting platforms, having completed over 110,000 streams.
