History
[edit]Foundation and establishment
[edit]Iflix was founded by Patrick Grove, CEO of Catcha Group, Mark Britt and Evolution Media, a merchant bank focused on the media, sports, and entertainment industries.[7] Iflix was created for the rapidly growing, emerging middle-class population and their increasing demand for entertainment content. The company set out to address a certain set of conditions, which tend to exist universally across emerging markets – prevalence of piracy, inconsistent infrastructure, inconsistent quality and distribution of internet connectivity, expensive and limited mobile data, low paid television penetration, low credit-card penetration and a lack of familiarity with online payment options – through technology and commercial partnerships.
In April 2015, Iflix announced the completion of a $30 million round of funding, led by international investment firm Catcha Group and telecommunications company Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT).[8] The company launched its service in Malaysia and the Philippines one month later,[9] where they also announced the formation of its advisory board, composed of Hollywood business and creative leaders.[10] By July, Iflix recorded over 100,000 subscribers, becoming Southeast Asia's fastest growing Internet TV service.[11] Within the 12-week trial phase of its official launch in Thailand in November, Iflix drew close to 200,000 subscribers.[12]
