Studio Profiletop
We are the most downloaded app on Google TV, and have partnerships for deep integration and homepage placement with Google, Samsung, LG, Panasonic, and Sony. We grew 10x in 2011 to over 3M monthly users and we'll be live on over 40M Connected TV devices by the end of the year.

We're an 11-person team so you'll have a big impact on shaping the company as we grow.
