CuriosityStream

CuriosityStream is a subscription video-on-demand streaming service that focuses on documentary films and television series. Launched in 2015, the platform was founded by John Hendricks, the founder of Discovery Communications. Its content library spans a wide range of factual subjects, including science, nature, history, technology, and society. The service aims to provide educational and entertaining content for a global audience.

The platform offers its content through various subscription tiers, accessible via web browsers, mobile devices, smart TVs, and other streaming platforms. CuriosityStream is known for its extensive collection of original programming, alongside licensed content from various production companies. It competes in the streaming market by specializing in documentary-style content, differentiating itself from services with broader entertainment offerings. The company also operates a separate service called Nebula, which features content from independent creators, including many who also produce for CuriosityStream. CuriosityStream's business model relies on subscription revenue and aims to be a primary source for factual entertainment.
