Enplug provides a software licensing platform for digital displays that runs on off-the-shelf Internet-connected TVs rather than selling proprietary hardware. Its system supports apps developed by Enplug and third-party developers via an SDK, enabling businesses to aggregate social media (Twitter, Facebook, Yelp, Foursquare, Instagram) and surface customer interactions on screens. Viewers interact with displays using business-chosen hashtags. Two years after launch, Enplug raised a $2.5 million seed round to expand distribution to more restaurants, cafes, retail stores and other businesses. The company charges customers a monthly subscription per screen (starting at $99/month with advertising or $299/month without). Enplug was founded in 2012, is based in Los Angeles, employs about 30 people, and has customers in 40 cities and hundreds of businesses, including Amoeba Music, Arco AM/PM, Ten Ren, Toyota, and Rita’s Ice.
