Propeller Shannon

What Propeller Shannon does

Propeller Shannon is a Dublin, Ireland-based private company founded in 2017 with 1-10 employees. The firmographic record describes it as an airline company in the travel tech, airlines, start-ups, and airports sectors, but the substantive operational data attached to the entity describes Cinegato, a Brazilian-market streaming application. This creates a material data inconsistency that any diligence effort must resolve: the entity either operates Cinegato as a streaming product distinct from its airline business, or the dataset conflates two unrelated companies.

Based on the substantive product data, Cinegato is a free Android-based streaming platform offering access to over 100,000 films, series, cartoons, and live sports broadcasts (football, basketball, volleyball, tennis). The app is distributed primarily through direct APK download from the official website rather than Google Play, with additional access via Android TV and PC through BlueStacks Android emulator. Content supports dubbed and subtitled playback in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. A paid premium tier (Cinegato Premium) provides ad-free viewing, 4K quality, offline downloads, multi-device support (up to 3 phones and 2 TVs), and exclusive content. Pricing is disclosed only within the app.

The business model combines freemium access (ad-supported free tier), subscription revenue (premium tier), referral economics (users earn cash via bank transfer for inviting friends), and promotional code distribution through official vendors and influencer partners. Marketing channels are predominantly organic social, influencer partnerships, and user-driven referral sharing. The target customer segment is Brazilian Portuguese-speaking streaming consumers seeking a low-cost alternative to multiple paid subscriptions, with secondary potential in broader Latin American and Portuguese-speaking markets. No parent company, venture backing, or institutional investors are disclosed.
