While Western tech obsesses over Netflix and Disney+, a 681-person team in Eastern Europe is quietly streaming 6.6 million people every month. Megogo isn't fighting for your attention—it's already won the battle in markets where global giants haven't cracked the code.

"They don't need to be global to be massive—dominating 88.5% of traffic from a single region is a strategy, not a limitation."

The Trustpilot score of 1.8/5 from 67 reviews is the elephant in the room. For a $174M revenue company, that's a red flag waving in a hurricane. But here's the contrarian take: streaming services live and die by content licensing, not user satisfaction. Megogo's low rating likely reflects regional content gaps and technical issues, not fundamental product failure. When you're the only legal option in a market, you can afford imperfect reviews.

• Tech stack is deliberately conservative (jQuery, Bootstrap) for maximum device compatibility in emerging markets
• Social presence focused on Ukraine despite global traffic—double down on your core market
• Team structure shows deep local expertise with Polish and Ukrainian leadership
• No funding rounds listed suggests bootstrapped or early-stage VC that never needed follow-ons
