We are pleased to announce that Hangar.Media has closed its Series A funding round. This investment will accelerate our platform development, grow our team, and scale the infrastructure that powers digital signage for businesses across the United Kingdom and beyond.
Why Now
When we started Hangar.Media, the digital signage market was dominated by enterprise platforms that were complex, expensive, and hostile to small and mid-size businesses. Our thesis was simple: every business with a screen should be able to manage it as easily as they manage their social media. That meant building a platform that was genuinely self-service, priced per screen with no feature gating, and capable enough to scale from a single screen in a cafe to hundreds of screens across a national chain.
The market has validated that thesis. Our customer base has grown consistently since launch, our retention rates are among the highest in the industry, and our per-screen economics are strong. This round gives us the resources to accelerate what is already working.
This funding is not about pivoting or reinventing. It is about doing more of what is already working — faster, at greater scale, and with a larger team behind it.
What This Means for Customers
If you are an existing Hangar.Media customer, this funding translates directly into platform improvements that you will see and use:
- Faster feature development: We are expanding our engineering team to ship features faster without compromising on quality or stability. Our roadmap includes advanced analytics, enhanced multi-zone editing, and deeper hardware integrations
- Infrastructure investment: More redundancy, faster content delivery, and improved global performance. We are expanding our edge infrastructure to ensure that screens in Edinburgh load content as quickly as screens in London
- Expanded hardware support: We are investing in dedicated hardware partnerships and testing programmes to certify more devices and ensure a seamless experience across a wider range of commercial displays and media players
- Enhanced support: A larger customer success team means faster response times, more onboarding support, and dedicated account management for larger deployments
Our Roadmap
While we are not announcing specific release dates, the investment enables us to pursue several initiatives that we have been planning:
Advanced analytics and reporting: Beyond basic proof-of-play, we are building analytics that help businesses understand the impact of their signage — correlating content playback with foot traffic, sales data, and audience engagement metrics.
Content intelligence: AI-powered tools that help users create more effective content — from automated layout suggestions to content scheduling optimisation based on historical performance data.
Partner ecosystem: A formal partner programme for AV integrators, IT managed service providers, and agencies who deploy and manage signage on behalf of their clients. This includes API access, white-labelling capabilities, and partner-specific commercial terms.
International expansion: While our current focus is the UK market, we have customers in over a dozen countries already. This funding allows us to invest in localisation, regional infrastructure, and targeted go-to-market efforts in key European markets.
Growing the Team
We are hiring across engineering, product, customer success, and commercial roles. If you are interested in joining a team that is building the platform we wish had existed when we started in this industry, we would love to hear from you. Open positions are listed on our careers page.
We are particularly looking for engineers with experience in real-time systems, media processing, and embedded device software — the technical challenges in digital signage are more interesting than most people realise.
We are grateful to our customers, partners, and early supporters who helped us reach this milestone. This investment is a direct result of the trust you placed in us, and we intend to repay it by building the best digital signage platform in the market. The best is ahead.
Thank You
To our customers: thank you for choosing Hangar.Media and for the feedback that shapes every feature we build. To our new investors: thank you for sharing our vision of what digital signage can be. And to our team: thank you for the relentless work that made this possible.
We will share more details on specific initiatives in the coming weeks. For now, it is back to building.
