Our take

Wurl is a provider of powered streaming for smart TVs and smart TV sticks across the world. Working with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Roku, Rakuten TV, and Samsung TV Plus, Wurl's technology helps content companies to monetize their services. It enables streamers to onboard new channels and content with ease.

Wurl has few competitors in the current market, though legacy broadcast technology companies are starting to design their own OTT delivery platforms to compete with Wurl, while subscription-based streaming services like Netflix offer an alternative to viewers who don't want to see ads. With over 300 million connected TVs in over 50 countries, Wurl's viewership is still growing.

The company was acquired by AppLovin in 2022, enabling the company to bring new advertising and marketing services to both connected television (CTV) and mobile. This is an exciting opportunity within a fast growing industry as it is projected that U.S advertisers will spend around $100 billion on CTV by 2030.
