Our take

Caffeine are building a new social broadcasting platform that delivers quality content, easy-to-use broadcasting tools, an enjoyable viewing experience, and an engaged broadcaster community.

The company is reimagining live streaming, connecting entertainers with world-class technology, enabling them to create authentic content. Whilst other platforms, like Twitch, tap into the gaming market, Caffeine has become the leading platform bringing together entertainment and sports. It has already attracted notorious talent, including a multiyear partnership with Drake, as well as enlisting entertainers and sports figures - Doja Cat, Offset, and Kyle Kuzma - to contribute new and unique content.

2020 investment is funding the onboarding of more talent to create new forms of entertainment that users can watch and engage with. The goal is to distinguish Caffeine’s programming from that of industry leaders, Twitch and YouTube. This aim is clearly playing well with its audience, with a foot in both gaming and sports, Caffeine has grown its monthly active user base from 5 million to 60 million in just one year.
