Technotainment Raises $2M Community Pre-Seed as it Prepares ‘Streaming 2.0’ Launch

Following its Las Vegas debut and a $2 million community-only raise, Technotainment is fueling its mission to bring Hollywood on-chain and redefine streaming through participation.

Las Vegas, 23 October 2025 – Technotainment, a next-gen entertainment platform fusing streaming, gaming, commerce, and digital participation, announces its $2 million pre-seed raise to accelerate its ‘Streaming 2.0’ rollout. The round was 100% community-led with no venture capital involvement, indicating strong support from creators, early users, and partners who believe audiences should be rewarded for how they watch, co-create, and share.

Technotainment debuted last month in Las Vegas during Rare EVO 2025, introducing a platform where content, community, and commerce converge and where participation (not passive viewing) drives the experience. With the raised funds, the company will expand engineering and onboard creators across seven vertical channels, and advance integrations that make content instantly shoppable and shareable, while rewarding every meaningful action on the platform.

Nyhl Henson, Founder & CEO of Technotainment, said: 

“From day one, we set out to bring Hollywood on-chain and build a streaming ecosystem where everyone wins. A community-only raise is a powerful signal: the people who will use and build on Technotainment are the ones funding it. This is what Streaming 2.0 looks like.”

Built initially with a roadmap to a proprietary L1, Technotainment is designed for real-time interactivity and commerce-enabled streams. That means everything from live polls and watch parties to one-click merch, tickets, and digital goods that appear contextually during programming. 

The platform’s engagement loop is underpinned by the forthcoming $CAST token, designed to reward viewers for participation, creators for impact, and brands for measurable outcomes. The company is developing its tokenization model with a compliance-first, MiCA-aligned approach.

Wesley  Ellul, President & Head of Strategy of Technotainment, said: 

“Streaming is unfinished. Audiences want to get involved, creators deserve to earn much more share, and brands don’t want impressions; they want outcomes. Technotainment unites these incentives in one experience and rewards the actions that actually grow culture.”

Technotainment will deploy its community-led pre-seed capital to scale platform and technology capabilities across TV, mobile, and web, strengthen multi-CDN delivery, and deepen the live interactivity layer that powers polls, quizzes, watch parties, and shoppable moments within programming. A portion of the funds will expand the Technotainment Art & Media Institutes, decentralized production hubs established in collaboration with university partners, enabling the cost-effective testing of concepts before their full-scale rollout. 

The company remains on track for a platform beta and Streaming 2.0 feature launch in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a token generation event targeted for late Q4 2025 to early Q1 2026, aligned to product readiness and regulatory best practices. 

As a testament to its creator-first ethos, Technotainment is proudly championing Delightful Droid’s Journey,” a 16-minute animated short that celebrates curiosity, empathy, and cultural diversity through the adventures of an endearing AI hero in Mystic Village. 

Directed, produced, and senior-edited by Andy Broadaway, with Nyhl Henson as Executive Producer, Sakura Viotto as Producer, Writer, and Art Director, and Haroon as AI-Assisted Video Editor and AI Music Editor, the film invites families to discover 12 life lessons through playful storytelling and vibrant worldbuilding. 

As the roadmap progresses, Technotainment is prioritizing creator-first economics across its seven high-affinity verticals: Faith & Values, Boomers & Family, Self-Improvement, Cannabis Media, Art/Galleration, SmART Music & Movies, and SmART Sports, all while expanding outcome-based advertising that pays for engagement and actions.
