ActionStreamer – a market-leading media streaming platform for IoT devices – announced the closing of its $2.4 million Series A funding round, led by JumpStart Ventures through the Advanced Manufacturing Fund, managed with support from MAGNET. The Castellini Management Company, owners of the Cincinnati Reds, also co-invested in the round.
With the successful completion of the Series A funding round, ActionStreamer is prepared to strategically deploy capital to accelerate the development of its patented comprehensive technology platform. The platform encompasses a robust API and SDK offering, reference hardware, and applications, coupled with advanced cloud services. These platform enhancements will further advance ActionStreamer’s mission to unlock pioneering data streaming capabilities and media solutions that serve diverse enterprise markets, including the sports and entertainment, aerospace, and industrial sectors, as well as remote surveillance and monitoring.
Launched in 2016 by former NFL Linebacker Dhani Jones and Cincinnati technology entrepreneur Chris McLennan, ActionStreamer’s first market application was wearable point-of-view cameras and streaming solutions that have been showcased in NFL, MLB, USFL, SailGP, and RedBull events. And in 2020, ActionStreamer was awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force to develop an advanced communications system with real-time point-of-view video and two-way audio capabilities for use in confined spaces and hazardous areas. More recently, ActionStreamer pioneered new 5G capabilities in collaboration with T-Mobile, and delivered the first Amazon Web Services-qualified 5G cameras on the Amazon Partner Network (APN).
