BeLive Technology is the leading provider of live streaming solutions in Southeast Asia. Other notable shareholders include Singapore’s national media network Mediacorp and current Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin. BeLive Technology has powered live streams for businesses like Zalora, Valiram Group, Rakuten Group, and Bukalapak. It operates from three locations across the region, including Singapore, Vietnam and Shenzhen. To date, BeLive Technology has delivered live video to over 100 million viewers worldwide. It allows any website or app to broadcast live video with interactive elements such as live shopping platforms and analytics, live virtual gifting, and live trivia game shows. 

Commenting on this latest funding round, Kenneth Tan, CEO and Co-founder of BeLive Technology, said:

"We're in the midst of a direct-to-consumer revolution, with live video omnipresent in every brand's customer engagement strategy. Our company always had the conviction that the adoption of live video was inevitable. However, we were still astounded by the success of our customers like Trendyol, who easily rocketed past the million viewer mark in their beta live streams. 

The previously gaping chasm of content-market fit is closing incredibly rapidly, and we are delighted to accelerate this with the partnership with FTAG Ventures, whose leadership team brings decades of entrepreneurial and organizational experience to our growth journey. 

This funding round will allow us to grow our team, further innovate and build our product lines, deepen our AI and machine learning capabilities in live streaming, and expand our operations beyond Southeast Asia."

Caleb Chew, Principal of FTAG Ventures, added:

“We have seen an exponential growth in the live streaming industry, in particular, live commerce. Businesses are ready to adopt the use of interactive live streaming as a means to improve their business metrics and safeguard their business in a pandemic. BeLive has a strong suite of products which will continue to serve notable names globally. Their foresight to develop and include AI and machine learning in their suite of products will trailblaze the industry even further. As a venture builder, we are excited to build the business alongside them.”
