CURI
SILVER SPRING, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Speaking at the 27th Annual Needham Growth Conference in New York this week, Clint Stinchcomb, President and CEO of CuriosityStream Inc. (Nasdaq: CURI), a leading global factual entertainment company, signaled significant revenue growth for the company this year from content and data licensing. With AI-driven innovation at the forefront of technology, CuriosityStream has seen exceptional demand for its video, audio, image, and data assets to train next-gen AI models. “AI is fundamentally transforming the technology landscape, and CuriosityStream is uniquely positioned to deliver content at scale to meet the evolving needs of AI model training,” said Stinchcomb. “These opportunities are part of our broader strategy to unlock new and significant revenue streams that complement our subscription business. In light of our work with various hyper-scalers and other tech companies for AI video training, we believe our overall licensing revenue will be more than half of our direct subscription revenue this year. And we believe this will be the case for some time going forward.” Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information Certain statements in this press release may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to, CuriosityStream’s expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions, plans to pay regular dividends, consumers’ valuation of factual content, and the Company’s continued success.
