Company profile
researched Aug 2026Catenoid Inc. (카테노이드(주)) is a Korean company that positions itself as a Video Technology as a Service (VTaaS) provider, supplying video AI solutions and video infrastructure to enterprises running streaming businesses. Its product portfolio spans three main lines: a video streaming platform (secure and interactive video players, a service operation console, CDN management, service analytics reporting, a video web portal and live streaming), a media asset management platform (media workflow, a video distribution management system, content distribution and asset management, and analysis/reporting), and a video commerce platform (live commerce, short-form commerce and T-commerce).
Named products include Kollus, the company's enterprise video platform and the basis of its video content service offering; megadoga (メガDOGA), a video web portal/back-office product that lets customers start a video content business without building their own website, including content CMS, sales pricing policies, external payment integration and member management; and Loomex, an AI-based media asset management platform and media production workflow offering with accompanying consulting. Other capabilities described on the company site include global video delivery/multi-CDN, DRM and content security, low-latency live video, data-driven viewership analytics, no-code short-form video and a next-generation data broadcasting solution.
Catenoid describes dedicated quality-management functions: a 24/7 Network Operation Center for real-time streaming traffic monitoring and fault response, tiered customer support across sales, service engineering and development, developer support tools (support site, demo page, sample code), and an independent QC organization. The company states the name "catenoid" refers to maintaining maximum stability with minimum energy, and frames its approach around four factors it abbreviates as FPSS: function, price, support and stability.
Business model
Catenoid sells video technology as a service to corporate customers, providing platform software and managed video infrastructure (players, CDN delivery, DRM, transcoding, analytics, MAM and commerce modules) rather than consumer-facing content. Prospective customers engage through online inquiry and technical consultation, with tiered pre- and post-sales support from sales, service engineering and development teams.
Revenue comes from providing video technology and infrastructure services to corporate clients; the company also notes that 13% of annual revenue is reinvested in R&D. Its megadoga web portal product supports customer-side video sales, pricing policies and external payment integration for content businesses.
Traction
Company-reported figures include more than 1,000 domestic and international solution customers, an average of over 88 million video plays per month, over 9.6 million cumulative downloads of its player app, over 280,000 transcoding jobs per month on average, 575 Gbps of daily processed traffic, more than 10 million monthly video streaming volume, and partnerships or technology alliances with 91 companies.
Latest developments
In April 2026 Catenoid announced a joint approach to the media market with Open Source Consulting, combining AI media asset management with cloud infrastructure. In May 2026 it exhibited at KOBA 2026, presenting disaster-monitoring technology at the KBS booth. In June 2026 it released a beta of Kollus MCP, a technology for integrating video infrastructure via natural language.
