CuriosityStream (NASDAQ:CURI), Inc. (NASDAQ: CURI) is a global streaming media company specializing in factual content across science, nature, history and technology. Founded in 2015 by John Hendricks, the founder of the Discovery Channel, CuriosityStream offers on-demand documentaries, series and short-form programming designed to inform and entertain viewers with high-quality educational content. The company’s library features both original productions and licensed titles, covering topics such as space exploration, wildlife conservation, archaeology and cutting-edge scientific research.
Since its launch, CuriosityStream has expanded its reach to subscribers in more than 175 countries, delivering content in multiple languages and via a range of platforms. Viewers can access the service through smart TVs, mobile devices, streaming set-top boxes and through partnerships with pay-TV providers and FAST (free ad-supported television) channels. This broad distribution network enables CuriosityStream to engage audiences in North America, Europe, Asia and emerging markets around the world.
In October 2021, CuriosityStream became a publicly traded company through a merger with Software Acquisition Group II, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), and began trading under the ticker symbol CURI. This transaction marked a significant milestone in the company’s growth strategy, providing capital to expand its content slate and invest in new technology and distribution partnerships. CuriosityStream continues to pursue strategic alliances with major platforms and broadcasters to amplify its reach and diversify its revenue streams.
CuriosityStream is headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, and is led by CEO Clint Stinchcomb, who joined the company in 2017. Under his leadership, CuriosityStream has focused on scaling its operations, enhancing its technology platform and growing its library of original documentaries. The company remains committed to its founding mission of making high-quality factual storytelling accessible to curious minds around the globe.
