Samba TV collects and analyzes TV viewing data to help advertisers, broadcasters, and content creators understand what people watch. It embeds its technology in about 35 million smart TVs across 20 brands, creating a large viewership database and a household identity graph. The system works by using a proprietary multi-source panel from participating TVs to gather viewing activity, then turning that data into insights and analytics that clients can use to plan ads, optimize content, and measure performance. What sets Samba TV apart is the size and scope of its data: it claims the largest end-to-end viewership dataset and identity graph in the industry, with a panel hundreds of times larger than typical measurements and broad brand partnerships, while offering privacy controls for viewers who opt in or out. The company aims to provide data-driven, actionable insights to improve advertising effectiveness and content delivery across the global smart TV market.

What critics are saying

Samba TV secures new funding of up to $60 million. SAN FRANCISCO - Samba TV has announced that it has secured new financing from Horizon Technology Finance Corporation, an affiliate of Monroe Capital, with an initial venture debt facility of $30 million, and up to $30 million more to support future growth. Samba TV said it will use the capital to accelerate the AI transformation in media and advertising, driving adoption of its advanced agentic advertising solutions.

We chose to partner with Horizon because of their deep understanding of the technology landscape and their ability to provide sophisticated, non-dilutive capital solutions that align with our long-term vision." "The media and advertising sector is at a critical inflection point, and Samba has established itself as an indispensable global leader," said Mark Solovy, managing director and co-head, Technology Finance Group at Monroe Capital, the parent company of Horizon. "Samba TV's proprietary data, advanced AI platform, and its deep integration with the world's leading media platforms represent the exact kind of durable, scalable business model we seek to invest in. We are thrilled to provide the growth capital to support Ashwin and his team as they capitalize on this massive market opportunity."
