Problem
UnivFilms reduces barriers to access, distribution, and monetization of independent audiovisual, connecting producers to new markets and audiences through technology, streaming, and international distribution.
Solution
UnivFilms offers an integrated solution that connects independent producers to audiences and markets through its own streaming platform, content curation, and national and international distribution. The model expands the visibility of works, creates new opportunities for monetization, and reduces barriers for independent producers to reach new markets.
Business model
UnivFilms operates a scalable digital business model, combining four revenue sources: streaming subscriptions (SVoD), advertising, international content distribution/licensing, and audiovisual training through the UNIVFilms Academy. The main recurring model is the platform's subscription, with an average projected ticket of R$ 17,57 per subscriber/month. The other verticals increase revenue per customer and diversify the monetization of the ecosystem. Main average ticket: R$ 17,57/month, equivalent to R$ 210,84 per subscriber per year.
Market
Our TAM is the global OTT video market, estimated at approximately US$ 353 billions in 2026. Our SAM initially focuses on Latin America, a streaming market estimated at US$ 17,1 billions in 2026. Like SOM, UnivFilms sets the goal of achieving 600 A thousand subscriptions up to 2031, representing approximately R$ 126,5 millions annually in subscription revenues alone, in addition to revenues from advertising, international distribution, and audiovisual training.
Competitors
The main competitors are MUBI, Belas Artes à La Carte, Spcine Play, and other streaming platforms specializing in independent and authorial cinema. As indirect competitors, Netflix, Prime Video and Globoplay stand out.
Competitive differentiation
UNIVFilms goes beyond streaming: it integrates technology, curatorship, international distribution and training, connecting independent Latin American audiovisual with new audiences and opportunities for monetization.
Entry barrier
Our barrier to entry lies in the combination of proprietary technology, a licensed catalog, an international network of producers and partners, and accumulated knowledge in curation and audiovisual distribution. This ecosystem creates a network effect: more producers expand the catalog, a larger catalog attracts more audience, and audience growth increases value for producers and partners, making the model progressively more difficult to replicate.
Traction
UnivFilms has been in operation since 2023 and it has already validated its model with paying subscribers, an international audiovisual catalog and relationships with producers from different countries. The company has experience in licensing and distributing content for international markets, including operations with global platforms, as well as partnerships in Latin America. In 2026, began a new phase of expansion of the catalog and technological and commercial preparation for the launch of the new version of the platform, scheduled for November 2026. UnivFilms also validated its audiovisual training vertical through the UnivFilms Academy, with courses held internationally and student works recognized at festivals.
