StreamElements

StreamElements is a prominent cloud-based platform specifically designed for live stream content creators on platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Gaming. Founded in 2017 by Or Perry, Doron Nir, Gil Hirsch, and Reem Sherman, the company was born out of a desire to provide creators with professional tools to manage and monetize their broadcasts without heavy local system requirements. Unlike many of its competitors, StreamElements operates primarily in the cloud, allowing streamers to store their overlays and assets remotely, which reduces CPU load and ensures a consistent setup across different devices.

Headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, the company has grown rapidly into a global leader in the creator economy. Its suite of services includes automated chatbots, donation processing through SE.Pay, custom overlays, and an integrated merchandise store. A key part of its business model involves a massive sponsorship marketplace that connects major global brands like Microsoft and Red Bull with thousands of creators. As of 2026, StreamElements remains a privately held company, backed by significant venture capital from major international firms including SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 and PayPal Ventures, continuing its mission to help creators turn their passion into a sustainable profession.
