Sivoo, Inc. is an American technology company offering B2B video and data services. Launching in Africa prior to Q3 2021, their mobile app delivered a catalog of video titles including film clips, television series, news, sports and lifestyle content through telco distribution deals.

Sivoo was founded in 2000 by Burhan Fatah in Philadelphia, PA, USA as a multicultural video service focusing on non-english content with corporate partnerships to the likes of Comcast, Verizon and JumpTV. Sivoo was publicly traded ["SIVO"] on the OTC market. Forced to cease operations due to economic turmoil as a result of the 2008 recession, Sivoo pivoted, not on its model, but its markets. Hence, the SIVO ticker symbol was delisted in 2016 for non-reporting; although 20M shares are still held. Relaunched in 2017 to bring global content to emerging markets, Sivoo recruited Sean Berner as CTO to design and construct a streaming server appliance to run CEDaR®, the company's proprietary software IP. These server stacks housed in data centers nodes strategically positioned across the globe comprise the SivooCloud®, their content delivery network and infrastructure backbone for the company's video and data services.

In April 2021, Alan Gochin joined the company's executive team as Vice President, Marketing (following a consultancy as Creative Director) to unify Sivoo's brand across its corporate website [sivoo.com], mobile apps, other products/services, marketing/investor collateral, etc. and collaborate on Sivoo's strategic roadmap. In January 2022, as Sivoo grew, Alan was promoted to CMO.

SivooTV®, the initial product, is a video streaming service that can be accessed primarily via apps installed on smartphones with an OTT version available soon on our set-top boxes and thereafter via internet browser web app on computers and tablets. The beta release was on August 16. 2021 in Nigeria, Africa on the KaiOS network and exceeded the 100,000 download milestone in its first 100 days. Since then, SivooTV launched in India on March 11, 2022 on the Jio Network [owned by Reliance Industries] and surpassed 1M downloads in the following 7 weeks. Android and iOS app versions will be available in the very near future.

As of January 2022, SivooTV had over 130,000 users worldwide, including 20,000 in the United States and Canada, 100,000 in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, 5,000 in Latin America and 5,000 in Asia-Pacific. It is currently available in over 100 countries except in Mainland China (due to local restrictions), Syria, North Korea and Crimea (due to US sanctions). Within Q1 2022, SivooTV was accessible in India to an additional 400M users on mobile and 10K via OTT on the JioSTB. By June 2022, SivooTV saw total adoption eclipse 1.5M global users.

In May 2022, SivooTV got a (beta) feature release of UGC; whereby users can upload their own :30s clips -- country or language specific. Following moderation, this content would be available wherever SivooTV is offered.

The ticker symbol reinstatement process will begin Q3 2022 with the SEC filing expected by July 1st -- predicting trading by October 1st under ["SIVOO"] on the OTC Market with a listing on the NSE in India possible by the end of 2022.

Sivoo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sivoo Holdings, Inc., is headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, USA, with Burhan Fatah as its CEO.
