2025 Membership Grant Program
Now in its eighth year, the Membership Grant Program sponsors select companies, who meet the financial requirements, with a one-year Principal membership. This program not only enables smaller companies to participate in and benefit from the SVTA’s mission of deeper industry collaboration across the video streaming ecosystem, but also benefits existing members and the industry at large by bringing in new ideas from cutting-edge startups, accelerating advancements in video streaming.
The SVTA Board of Directors chose the following four new companies to receive 2025 Membership Grants:
Diverseego is the first travel streaming TV network that inspires Blacks and Latinos to travel the U.S., with travel shows produced by Blacks and Latinos.
"We at Diverseego are honored to receive an SVTA Grant Membership and join this transformative alliance. This opportunity is a pivotal step in our mission to amplify underrepresented voices in the streaming industry. By collaborating with industry leaders, we aim to accelerate growth and contribute to a diverse streaming ecosystem. Leveraging the SVTA's resources, we will expand our reach, foster innovation, and shape a dynamic media landscape that reflects global storytelling." – Shamroc Peterson, Founder and CEO of Diverseego
EINBLIQ.IO is driving the future of streaming optimization with comprehensive observability, leveraging machine learning alongside industry standards like CMCD and Content Steering. Their easy-to-deploy solution enables streaming services to quickly enhance user experience and ensure greater viewer satisfaction.

Quanteec’s solution absorbs audience spikes and delivers the best quality each viewer is capable of receiving while keeping costs low and reducing the need for server-based infrastructures.
"Joining the Streaming Video Technology Alliance is an opportunity to share thoughts and experiences with other organizations. While working on disruptive delivery solutions, we have encountered a number of challenges with existing tools and protocols and we will be glad to help build the future of video technologies along with all the relevant actors of the video industry." – Daniel Négru, CEO of Quanteec

We look forward to collaborating with industry leaders on more accessible and interoperable CDN infrastructure that delivers richer internet media to larger audiences more efficiently.” – Omar Ramadan, Co-Founder & CEO of Blockcast
SEGMENTS:2025 Madrid Call for Speakers
The SVTA is proud to continue the SEGMENTS conference, a one-day, public facing event focused on the technical challenges of streaming video operations. This year, the SVTA will host two SEGMENTS conferences. The first, SEGMENTS:2025 Madrid, will be held on July 18th, the day after our Q2 Member Meeting and a few days before IETF Madrid. All three events will be hosted at the Melia Castilla hotel, making the trip easier and more efficient for attendees of these complementary events. The second, SEGMENTS:2025 Montreal, will be held on October 31st, the day after our Q3/Q4 Member Meeting and a few days before IETF Montreal. We hope that by adding an event situated in Europe, we will be able to host many more European speakers and attendees who may not have been able to travel to a North American SEGMENTS.
The SVTA is currently seeking speakers for the SEGMENTS:2025 Madrid. We are looking for presentations that deal with hands-on presentations that will help attendees to streamline various aspects of the streaming video workflow – from acquisition/ingest to playback/analytics – we invite streaming video experts who can clearly demonstrate best practices, technologies, and techniques to deliver the best possible viewer experience at scale to submit a presentation for consideration.
