Cleeng title
retail
April 2013
Cleeng was founded by Gilles Domartini (CEO), Donald Res (CTO) and Benedicte Guichard (Head of Marketing), three veterans of the e-commerce industry. Today, the SaaS platform that specialized in subscriber retention management (SRM) is used by video subscription businesses around the world. Their clients include, amongst others, Sinclair Broadcast Group, CBC, Optus, and Canadian Hockey League, which are spread over 50 countries and end-users in 170 countries who use Cleeng to manage and retain their OTT subscribers.
In addition, Cleeng provides pay-per-view services (PPV). During the monetized and huge events like the Mayweather versus McGregor fight, Cleeng’s powerful and stable platform processed up to 10,000 ticket transactions on a single night. It can easily process up to 100,000 ticket transactions.
Since 2018, when Walvis invested in Cleeng and emphasized a transition from a pay-per-view (one-off revenue model) to SRM, Cleeng generates more recurring and sustainable revenue. Today Cleeng is active globally and has offices in the Netherlands, Poland, the United States and Manilla.
