Introduction

iStream+ is a digital streaming marketplace designed to help filmmakers and content distributors reach audiences across Africa without building their own streaming platforms. The product brings international and local premium content into a single platform where creators can upload and monetize their films while viewers discover and stream content in one unified experience.

Challenge

Across Africa, content distribution remains fragmented. Many filmmakers lack the infrastructure to launch their own streaming services, manage payments, or navigate regional regulations. At the same time, viewers face limited access to legal streaming platforms and rigid subscription models that require monthly payments even when they watch occasionally.

The Result

iStream+ introduces a unified streaming platform where distributors upload their content and define their own streaming terms including pricing, preview limits, and rewatch conditions. Viewers can browse content from multiple distributors and pay only for what they choose to watch, removing the need for subscriptions. By simplifying distribution and enabling transparent revenue tracking, the platform helps creators monetize their work while giving audiences across Africa a convenient way to access premium entertainment.
