Best OTT Video Companies in Canada
The 106 best OTT Video companies in Canada in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Dejero.
Canada's OTT Video sector has 106 companies tracked here, ranked by disclosed equity funding and recent momentum, and the numbers make a compelling case for paying attention. Total disclosed funding sits at $479M, with Dejero pulling the heaviest weight at $88M and Kidoodle.TV not far behind at $62M. No unicorns yet, but the market's forecast at roughly $2.7B in 2024 with a 30.7% CAGR, which is the kind of growth rate that turns heads. Most active backers include Techstars, Celtic House Venture Partners, and BEST Funds, so the investor bench is real.
The sector's moving fast on multiple fronts right now. Live shopping integrations are pushing OTT platforms toward new monetization rails, and Amazon's Premier League rights grab in the UK signals how aggressively global players are bundling premium sports into streaming. Canada isn't insulated from that pressure. If you're building here, you're competing with that gravity. Hot themes across the Canadian stack right now are playback engines, audio renderers, and personalization infrastructure, which tells you where the next funding rounds are probably clustering.
