NAB Show Launches PropelME For Innovative Entrepreneurs

0

Early-stage startup companies are being encouraged by the NAB to apply for a new NAB Show initiative designed to cultivate what the association calls “a vibrant ecosystem of innovative entrepreneurs in the dynamic broadcast, media and entertainment industries.”


PropelME is poised to offer participants “a community full of rich interactions and discussions with like-minded professionals and entrepreneurs.”

This includes year-round, online community engagement, immersive, in-person experiences during NAB Show events, and a comprehensive support system.

“Participants will explore, learn, collaborate and drive impactful change as they take deep dives into pivotal industry topics aligned with their specific interests through a digital forum and hosted events on NAB Amplify,” the NAB says.

The first participants are:

  • Advanced Image Robotics: Named NAB Show 2022 Product of the Year Winner and awarded the NAB Technology Innovation Award, the AIR One™ is a professional video production platform designed for OTT livestreaming.
  • Bit Part LLC: Bit Part has developed bitbox, a remote camera control system and is working on tablet-based hardware and a production router.
  • Beeyou.TV: Beeyou.tv is a web-based social video conferencing platform.
    Scenery: Scenery offers a collaborative video editing workspace for asset management, editing and review, with AI-assisted workflows.
  • Tessact Private Limited: Tessact is an AI-powered video creation suite that allows better, faster and collaborative video creation.

PropelME community activities will continue online year-round and in-person at NAB Show, April 13-17 in Las Vegas.


The program launched in January with five early-stage companies; applications are still being accepted. Learn more and apply here.
