Cleeng — Cyborg Score 7/10

Strong
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software

Strategic Profile

Cleeng has been specializing in the online video market and mastered video monetization since 2011. The company simplifies operations with a ready-to-go Subscriber Retention Management (SRM®) suite that provides the complete infrastructure across all devices and eliminates the need for fragmented stacks. Founded in 2011, its customer portfolio comprises visionary D2C, streaming, and SVOD video services, with enterprise-grade technology used by the likes of the NFL, Big Ten Network, Sinclair Broadcast Group, and BeIN Media Group.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Cleeng demonstrates strong market positioning as a specialized SRM platform with global enterprise customers and a diversified product portfolio. Product innovation including Cleeng Pro (August 2025) shows strategic adaptation toward smaller creators, and integration partnerships expand reach. However, private company status and limited funding announcements as of 2026-07-05 temper the score.
