Positioning

CuriosityStream is positioned as a niche streaming service focused on factual entertainment and documentaries. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized content library and relatively low subscription price. The service's small size makes it susceptible to broader changes in the streaming landscape.

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

The global streaming market is estimated to be several hundred billion dollars. CuriosityStream is targeting a small segment within the broader streaming market, focusing on viewers interested in documentary and factual content. Their TAM is dependent on their penetration within that documentary sub-market.
