What Green Streams does
Green Streams GmbH is a Germany-based B2B SaaS provider of a modular, cloud-native Media Integration Platform (MIP) for telecommunications operators, ISPs, and pay-TV providers. Founded in 2021 in Riol by Gernot Jaeger (ex-Zattoo) and Ivo Stock (ex-Viacom, Zattoo), the company set out to give network operators a single console for managing TV and entertainment products \u2014 covering business logic, product logic, content management, UX, monetization, and personalization \u2014 in place of fragmented legacy middleware stacks.
The platform is architected as a set of interconnected modules (Console, CMS, Applications, Meta Aggregation, Multibrand, Personalisation, Video Pipeline, Analytics, plus a Hybrid DVB/IP product for cable operators) and is cloud-agnostic with on-premise, public-cloud, or hybrid deployment options. Green Streams' differentiation rests on a pro-integration approach that wraps best-of-breed third-party components \u2014 XRoadMedia for personalization, NPAW for video analytics, and Netflix/Disney+ via the Netflix operator scaling program for premium VOD meta-aggregation \u2014 rather than competing head-on with those layers.
Green Streams sells on multi-year subscription contracts with implementation and support professional services, priced per operator deployment. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by inside sales, content marketing (eBooks, whitepapers), and a recurring presence at IBC Amsterdam, MWC Barcelona, and Suisse Digital Day. Named customers include Elisa Estonia, Sunrise/MySports, Wilmaa, and Swisscom (the latter as both partner and infrastructure provider). In May 2025 the company was acquired by Zattoo, with the founding leadership remaining active within a 230+ person combined organization.
