\n\tLONDON: Sky has invested a further $5 million in the OTT startup 1Mainstream, which operates an automated platform for the distribution of linear and on-demand video to a wide range of internet-connected devices.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis new $5 million investment builds on the $2 million Sky previously invested in August 2013. Since its initial investment, Sky has used the 1Mainstream’s platform to broaden distribution of its OTT services such as Sky News and NOW TV to its growing digital audience. As part of this transaction, 1Mainstream plans to create a new subsidiary, with Sky as a shareholder, focusing on new product concepts. <\/p>\n

\n\tEmma Lloyd, Sky’s director of corporate business development and startup investments, commented: “We are delighted to be demonstrating our commitment and belief in 1Mainstream by making this additional investment. Our partnership is a great example of the way in which we find innovative and forward-looking startups that support our key business goals. We’ve already seen the real value by extending the distribution of our content onto new platforms and into new geographies. The 1Mainstream team have some exciting new product ideas in the pipeline and we look forward to exploiting those in the future.”<\/p>\n

\n\tRajeev Raman, CEO and co-founder of 1Mainstream, commented: “It’s hard to overstate Sky’s role in our development and growth. Their spirit of innovation and ability to partner with a young organization is a rare and potent combination that we are very excited to be a part of. The opportunity to jointly define and build the next generation of digital OTT services is phenomenal. We are very much looking forward to expanding our partnership.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
