About the Company

Netflix, Inc. is an American subscription streaming service and production company. Founded by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph on August 29, 1997, in Scotts Valley, California, Netflix initially offered DVD-by-mail rental services before transitioning to streaming media in 2007. The company is now a dominant force in the entertainment industry, competing with traditional television networks and other streaming services.

Netflix operates in over 190 countries and has approximately 250 million paid subscribers worldwide. The platform offers a wide variety of TV shows, movies, documentaries, and Netflix Originals across multiple genres and languages. Notable original productions include "Stranger Things", "The Crown", "Bridgerton", "The Queen's Gambit", and "Squid Game".

The company pioneered the binge-watching model by releasing entire seasons of shows at once. Netflix uses sophisticated recommendation algorithms to personalize content for each user based on viewing history and preferences. In recent years, Netflix has expanded into gaming, live events, and merchandise. Despite facing increased competition from Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, and others, Netflix continues to invest heavily in original content production, spending approximately $17 billion annually on content creation and acquisition.
