What Oznoz - Cartoons for kid in any language, any time, any place does

Oznoz (legal entity: Oznoz Entertainment, Ltd., headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, with operational roots and a New York mailing address) is a subscription streaming platform that delivers hundreds of curated children's shows in over 10 languages — including Arabic, English, French, German, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Persian, and Spanish — to multilingual and bilingual families. Founded in 2013 by Shabnam Rezaei and Aly Jetha, the company positions itself as a niche SVOD alternative to mainstream services for households seeking language-immersion, culturally diverse, ad-free content for children aged roughly 2–12. The technical product is a cross-platform streaming service accessible via iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Appstore, and web, with offline download capability for mobile devices; a separate Educators Portal extends the platform into K–12 and language-school institutional use cases.

The underlying business model is a self-serve, product-led subscription with tiered consumer pricing of $9.99 per month, $26.97 per quarter (≈$8.99/month equivalent), and $95.90 per year (≈$7.99/month equivalent), all cancellable at any time. Content is sourced through a mix of licensing agreements with major international rights holders (Sesame Workshop, Nelvana, Iconix Brand Group, Splash Entertainment, ORF, Redrover) and original productions from sister studio Big Bad Boo Studios, which shares the same founding management. A humanitarian partnership with UNICEF provides free programming access to displaced and vulnerable children worldwide and functions as both a social-impact brand asset and a subscriber-acquisition hook.

Customer segments span (i) multicultural and bilingual families seeking heritage-language and language-immersion content, (ii) general parents prioritizing curated, ad-free screen time, and (iii) educational institutions using the Educators Portal for classroom and language programs. Distribution is multi-surface and self-serve, with a marketing mix dominated by earned media (CNN, ABC, FOX Business, Hollywood Reporter coverage), organic social (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram), and app-store optimization. The company is privately held with 1–10 employees and no disclosed external funding rounds.
