Unreel.me, a Santa Monica, CA-based platform for networks and publishers launching OTT streaming services, raised $1.5m in Pre-Series A financing.
The round was led by Michael Kelly, with participation from previous investors Digital Ignition, Vineyard Point Associates, Poise Ventures and several other media-focused angel investors. As part of the financing, Kelly joined Unreel.me’s board of directors along with John Pavia, Executive Vice President of Business & Corporate Development at LogicSource, a Bain Capital Ventures portfolio company based in Norwalk, Conn.
The company intends to use the funds to expand the team, support the growth of its O&O and partner streaming services, and scale operations.
Launched in 2015 by advertising and media veterans Dan Goikhman, Krish Arvapally, Ryan James and Akshay Arvapally, Unreel Entertainment is a technology driven video streaming company focused on OTT distribution with a video player.
The company builds big data-focused OTT apps and sites for video networks as an alternative to traditional video distribution methods such as satellite and cable TV.
