Media tech
summary
An app that organizes and streams personal libraries becomes a top-15 watched platform across Roku, Fire TV and Chromecast and converts 17–18% of active users to paid subscriptions, then layers in over-the-air DVR and live TV after acquiring Watchup; a conferencing service launched on a $10 domain removes organizer fees and grows virally to 3–4k new customers per day with peaks of ~300M uniques, ~20B minutes a year and partnerships in 70 countries, growth driven by community rather than paid media.
