Sprockit, a marketplace that curates and connects “market-ready” startups, has picked nine finalist companies that will be featured at next week’s NAB Show in Las Vegas.
Those finalists, which will get a chance to strut their stuff at the Sprockit Hub in the Innovation Pipeline exhibit in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, are:
· Barometric (unified measurement via a “single pixel solution”);
· Connekt (advanced TV ads using A.I. tech);
· Overcast HQ (management solutions with augmented intelligence that streamline how companies review, approve and collaborate on video);
· Promethean.TV (enables broadcasters to serve intelligent commerce and engagement opportunities to viewers in real time);
· Stainless Code (generates live metadata for media automation and next-gen experiences using AI);
· Streann (a proprietary software as a service platform targeting content distribution, engagement and monetization using patent pending digital advertising technology);
· Tellyo (allows rights holders to easily create and share unique stories from live content);
· Teltoo (boosts the quality of livestreams and optimizes delivery costs via a software-only, decentralized video delivery platform), and;
· Wicket Labs (insights to media companies with shifting audiences in the evolving television marketplace).
Of that group, Teltoo recently was selected by UpRamp, the CableLabs-backed accelerator, for its Fiterator program. Wicket Labs is run by execs who are late of thePlatform, the OTT video publishing company acquired by Comcast in 2006.
