Edison Interactive

About the offering

Edison Interactive Company Summary Edison Interactive transforms out-of-home screens in venues like golf courses, hotels, and stadiums into personalized, monetized content marketplaces. The company is live across 55,000+ screens (including 250+ golf courses), has generated $60M+ in lifetime platform revenue, and has been a four-time Inc 5000 and two-time Deloitte Fast 500 honoree. The platform delivers intelligent, connected screen experiences combining live sports, streaming entertainment, immersive 3D course visualization, on-screen ordering, and interactive content through an AI-driven personalization layer. Edison has partnerships with Verizon, DISH Network, Disney, and YouTube for advertising and content, hotel deployments at Caesars and other properties, and a reseller partnership with Verizon to bring EdisonTV into professional sports arenas and stadiums. The offering is at $1.00/share with a $1,000 minimum investment via DealMaker Securities. The company's goal is to scale from 55,000 screens to 400,000+ screens engaging 100M viewers. The Problem Golf courses have used cart-mounted screens for years, but the experience has barely evolved—basic GPS with yardage and hole maps, static ad placements, and no content delivery or entertainment capabilities. Meanwhile, consumers live in a world of streaming, live sports, and personalized digital experiences. The same gap exists across hospitality (hotel room TVs with outdated interfaces), stadiums, arenas, airports, and other premium environments. Legacy systems (Club Car, Visage GPS) offer no monetization support for venue operators, no personalized content, and no live sports or entertainment integration. There are over 20 million screens across golf courses and hotels alone, representing a massive installed base of underutilized hardware that lacks intelligence, personalization, and revenue-generating capability. The Solution Edison's platform replaces legacy screen systems with a unified, AI-driven experience across multiple venue types. On golf courses, the platform provides 3D course visualization with smart overlays, live sports and entertainment streaming, dynamic personalized advertising, integrated scoring and real-time weather, and revenue-sharing from media and ads for course operators. In hotels, Edison delivers in-room entertainment with personalized content and sponsorship integration. In stadiums, the platform powers suite-based experiences with live content and targeted advertising. The AI-driven personalization layer adapts to how people engage, improving content relevance and advertising performance over time. The platform is venue-agnostic—the same core technology serves golf carts, hotel rooms, and stadium suites, with each deployment adding data and improving the system's intelligence. Business Model Edison removes the cost barrier to adoption by covering installation costs for venue operators, then earns recurring revenue from every screen deployed. Revenue comes from three streams: platform fees (monthly recurring per-screen SaaS-style payments from operators under long-term contracts), media and advertising revenue (high-margin programmatic ads and premium brand placements through partnerships with Verizon, Disney, and others), and content licensing and distribution (revenue share agreements with major entertainment brands). More screens create more impressions, more data, higher advertiser demand, and stronger operator relationships—a network-effect flywheel that makes the platform more valuable with every deployment. The company targets expansion from 55,000 to 400,000+ screens across golf, hospitality, stadiums, arenas, airports, and cruise lines.
