CiND!E acquires Paus
September 20, 2023
CiND!E has acquired the Paus TV technology platform and content assets to allow the companies to combine their technology and content platforms into a next-generation content branding and delivery platform, focused on distributing the world’s best independent feature films and TV series across all windows and emerging technologies.
The combined platform will leverage the distribution network of CiND!E across all VoD windows with the Paus Web3 technology platform to create a distribution business that will securely deliver the best indie content across owned, operated and third party platforms, as well as via blockchain. This coupling of innovation and premium IP is a powerful offering in LatAm, which is currently the seventh largest Web3 market and second fastest-growing streaming market in the world.
As a result of the acquisition, Rishi Kapoor, the founder and CEO of Paus will join the board of CiND!E.
Daniel Sandelson, chief commercial officer of CiND!E, said: “We are delighted to welcome Paus to our company. The logic of our cooperation is strong, and we are now able to offer film-makers, sales agents and distributors a multi-technology branded platform to access film and TV enthusiasts worldwide via all VoD, and the creation of added value through unique tokenised digital products such as NFTs.”
Kapoor added “I’m incredibly honoured to see Paus become part of CiND!E’s growing media empire. CiND!E is the perfect home for our business, our content library and our rich community. We are all very excited to see how the combined offering is going to accelerate the growth of their business, and stretch the boundaries of their creativity.”
