Piksel was established in 2013 after the recapitalization of a predecessor entity. The company’s products were focused on the streaming of video content for the media and broadcast industry. Realizing that the customized development of full software stacks by broadcasters had become increasingly expensive, while also expecting that a large number of functionalities for a streaming application would become commodities (i.e. content transcoding, user authentication, paywall integration, a recommendation engine and a search engine), Piksel embarked on the development of a streaming platform that could be white-labeled and sold as a ‘Netflix-in-a-box’ solution. Through customer driven R&D and product development, Piksel started to anticipate and innovate technologies and techniques that would be implemented in later years by the streaming industry.
Zing is a technology solutions provider specializing in Wifi6, 5G, IoT, and Mission Critical Solutions. Zing is developing a managed subscription service, based on an innovative 5G inline gateway which automatically detects internet outages from fixed line providers and switches critical devices to one of several 5G providers, ensuring their customers’ businesses run 24/7. Zing inherited patents from its founders who are serial technology entrepreneurs. They knew this legacy IP had value independent of Zing’s commercialization efforts and wanted to find a way to unlock and reinvest proceeds into new product development and IP. The founders knew they did not have the expertise and focus needed to unlock the IP’s value. In addition, the company wanted to retain certain rights under the patents.
