Overview

Founded in 2020, 4screen has built what it calls the world’s first Driver Interaction Platform, seamlessly embedding branded content into in-car infotainment systems. Its suite includes Branded and Co-Branded Pins, Sponsored In-Car Search, context-aware Recommendations, and Detail Screens that surface promotions when drivers most need them (e.g., low fuel or battery). The technology now works across 16 automotive marques such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia and Stellantis, and is commercially live in 12 markets throughout Europe and the United States. Early case studies show strong engagement: Shell recorded an 82% jump in navigations to promoted stations and a 68% lift in sponsored search clicks. 4screen estimates its total addressable market for driver interactions will reach $110 billion by 2030. The company has secured more than $40 million in funding to date, backed by notable automotive and advertising executives. With fresh capital, management plans to accelerate U.S. expansion, deepen OEM partnerships, and enhance its data and product capabilities.
