What Youcast does

Youcast is a Brazilian systems integrator founded in 2013 and headquartered in São Paulo, with a regional office in Rio de Janeiro. The company specializes in the production, distribution, and transport of multimedia content and data, and functions as a one-stop-shop for ISPs, telecom operators, media companies, healthcare organizations, and industrial enterprises across Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Paraguay. Its portfolio combines a proprietary IPTV/OTT platform with a 43-POP CDN across four LATAM countries, network assurance solutions (Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance), automated ISP provisioning and device management (Stechs), private 4G/5G network deployment (Baicells), digital TV test and measurement equipment (DekTec), consumer telemedicine subscriptions (E-saúde), and passive and active network infrastructure components.

Youcast generates revenue through four streams: recurring managed services and platform subscriptions (IPTV/OTT, Cisco Assurance, telemedicine), one-time hardware and equipment sales (ONUs, routers, Baicells radios, DekTec devices), professional integration and consulting services, and value-added distribution partnerships such as Sabemi insurance products. Pricing is B2B and quote-based for most solutions; published pricing exists only for telemedicine tiers (R$29.90/month individual, R$328.90/year, R$54.90/month family) and Cisco Assurance tiers (R$849.90 to R$1,490.90 per circuit per month). The company employs 11-50 people and operates through direct enterprise sales supplemented by channel partnerships with global technology vendors.

The business model rests on official distributor and integrator partnerships with Cisco, UPLYNK (LATAM representation), Baicells, Stechs, and DekTec, which give Youcast access to best-in-class technology stacks while it contributes local regulatory expertise (Anatel), multi-country CDN infrastructure, and integration services. The company won the Prêmio NEO Melhores do Ano 2025 in the Supplier category. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or ownership structure are disclosed.
