About Seen TV
Seen TV is a media-tech company with 8 million subscribers. We build tools that guide everyday people through the storytelling process, enabling us to create citizen journalism shows.
Our shows include Seen Health, focusing on physical health conditions and how people survive them, Seen Minds, a mental health show, and Seen Survivors, which tells the stories of survivors of assault and domestic violence. We also have international shows dedicated to important but misrepresented global topics, like Palestine.
That’s also why we’re called Seen, because we make people feel seen, particularly communities often overlooked by traditional media.
While we are currently a viral video publisher focused on delivering impactful stories to a young audience of 13 to 24-year-olds, predominantly in the US, we are now expanding globally into regional markets. These include the African continent, and the Middle East. Additionally, we are expanding into new verticals and broader subjects.
Over the last seven years, our growth has been driven by social media consumption on phones, but the next seven years will be focused on headsets and spatial storytelling. We are making substantial investments into creating the content and media company of the future, targeting platforms like Apple Vision Pro and other headsets.
As augmented reality and Web3 evolve, with stories overlaid onto the world, our goal is for those same unseen communities to be visible and heard in new, meaningful ways. Their stories, seen overlaid onto the world. That’s how we aim to create a more empathic and understanding world. By helping audiences see reality, through other people’s perspectives.
It’s sad seeing great creative talents— often use their skills to sell products which are detrimental to society. Come apply your creativity to meaningful stories. And for those trying to fix old, traditional media companies, come build a new future-focused one.
