Roku, Inc. (/ˈroʊkuː/ ROH-koo)[2] is an American streaming technology company,[3][4] founded in 2002 by Anthony Wood. It produces streaming players and TVs, licenses its technology to other manufacturers, and distributes streaming services on its platform. Roku leads streaming TV distribution in the U.S.,[5][6][7] reaching 120 million viewers as of 2024.[8] Outside the U.S., the company operates in Australia,[9] Canada,[10] France,[11] Germany, the U.K.,[12] and Latin American countries including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.[13][14]
In its early years, Roku focused on making high-definition video players and launched the first connected TV device to stream Netflix in 2008.[5][15][16] Later, in 2014, the company expanded the reach of its streaming platform by partnering with TV manufacturers to license Roku’s technology. This allowed Roku's operating system to be pre-installed on smart TVs.[15] Roku has since added channel subscriptions to its platform,[17] while also serving targeted and performance-based ads.[18][19] In addition, it operates its own ad-supported streaming service and produces consumer electronic products such as smart speakers and smart home devices.[20][21]
