What Kaltura does
Kaltura, Inc. is a publicly traded enterprise video and agentic AI platform headquartered in New York, listed on NASDAQ under the ticker KLTR, and founded in 2006. The company operates a cloud-native platform that combines real-time video streaming, conversational AI avatars, content intelligence, and journey orchestration, delivered through REST APIs, SDKs, and embeddable micro-frontend components (Unisphere). Its product portfolio is anchored by an "Agentic Digital Experience Platform" that includes Agentic Avatars (real-time conversational AI video agents supporting more than 30 languages), the Avatar Video Production Studio (avatar-narrated video generation), Work Genie (organizational knowledge assistant), Content Lab (long-form content repurposing), Publishing Agent (video lifecycle automation), and Class Genie (higher education tutor), alongside traditional video modules including Video Portal, Events & Webinars, Cloud TV, the Developer Suite, and education-specific sub-products. The platform operates at stated scale of 20M+ monthly active users and 100PB+ of enterprise video under management, with a 99.995% carrier-grade SLA across 15+ global Cloud TV initiatives.
The company monetizes through a mix of enterprise SaaS subscriptions (quote-based, annual billing), usage-based pay-as-you-go Media Services via the Developer Suite, professional services, and large multi-year managed contracts. Its go-to-market is multi-motion: enterprise field sales driven by "Book a demo" CTAs and named Fortune-grade accounts; event-driven demand generation via the Kaltura Connect series; API/developer-led adoption; a partner marketplace; and product-led growth through free trials for the Avatar Studio, Media Services, and Webinars. Customer segments span marketing and sales, corporate communications, higher education (with stated 50% Ivy League penetration), employee training, media and telecom (Vodafone, Entel, APTN), financial services and wealth management (Vanguard, Bank of America, ABN AMRO, Goldman Sachs), and healthcare and pharma (Mayo Clinic, Novartis, world-leading medical centers).
Financially, Kaltura reported FY2025 total revenue of $180.9M and Q1 2026 revenue of $44.6M (down 5.1% YoY), with FY2025 adjusted EBITDA of $18.6M (up more than 150% YoY). Through 2025–2026 the company repositioned from a video experience platform to an Agentic Digital Experience company, completing two material acquisitions: eSelf.ai (~$27M, Q4 2025) for conversational avatars and PathFactory (~$22M, closed April 1, 2026) for AI content intelligence and journey orchestration. Reported market capitalization was approximately $211M as of June 2026.
