OPA WIRE, Nov 4 (OPA) — Barcelona-based smart TV operating system developer Titan OS announced on Wednesday that it has raised $46 million in new funding. The round comprises debt facilities managed by BlackRock alongside contributions from existing investors Highland Europe and Mangrove Capital Partners. Having secured $58 million previously, the startup has now accumulated $110 million in total funding since its inception.

Titan OS provides television manufacturers with an alternative operating system that generates revenue through free ad-supported television channels and targeted screen advertisements. The company currently serves 30 million users, marking a significant increase from 18 million users last year. Recent manufacturing partnerships include Sharp, AOC, Vestel, and Skyworth, while Dutch electronics brand Philips transitioned its entire 2026 model lineup to Titan OS instead of Google TV.

Newly appointed Chief Financial Officer Hyoungung Kim noted that the platform's expanded reach creates a flywheel effect that attracts additional advertisers and sales agencies. To support its growth, the company expanded its workforce to 250 employees and opened a dedicated advertising office in London, complementing existing operational hubs in Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Taipei.

Looking ahead, Titan OS plans to utilize the investment to refine content discovery through interface adjustments and artificial intelligence tools. Tobias Pfalzgraff, senior vice president of people and marketing, emphasized that the platform remains impartial in content delivery because it lacks an internal streaming service. Executives noted that rising hardware component costs driven by artificial intelligence demand have made TV manufacturers increasingly reliant on shared revenue partnerships.
