Afrostream

Afrostream aimed to provide a dedicated streaming platform for African-American and African content, offering a diverse range of shows, films, and web series accessible online. The service curated an international library exceeding 1,000 hours of premium content, with subtitles and dubbing tailored to specific local markets. Afrostream secured licensing agreements with major studios, including Warner Brothers, Sony, Viacom, Lionsgate, and Sky Vision. Distribution partnerships were established with TF1, Orange, and Bouygues Telecom, launching on set-top boxes in over 12 million European households in the summer of 2016. Having been incubated by Y Combinator, Afrostream received investments from Orange, Cross Culture Ventures, and ACE & Company. The platform was available on Smart TVs, web browsers, iPads, iPhones, and Android devices across 28 countries in Europe and Africa, targeting a substantial market of 15 million people of African descent in Europe and 936 million Africans in sub-Saharan Africa. Unfortunately, the company is now inactive.
