About PowerTV PowerTV is YouTube's fastest growing network with nearly 3 billion annual video views and 10,000,000 subscriptions, to date (organization wide). Unlike traditional corporate-owned MCNs that have tens of thousands of YouTube partners in spreadsheets and only a few dozen employees to manage everyone, PowerTV specializes in servicing a much smaller group of a few dozen highly influential YouTuber clients (generally in 20,000,000+ monthly view range). PowerTV CEO, Alex Edson (18) (@aedson98), explains that his company's differentiated strategy of "fewer partners and better experiences" has enabled his organization to not only gain access to major VC dollars, but to also attract some of YouTube's finest talent. PowerTV is on track to surpass over 12 billion annual views and 100 million subscribers before the end of 2017.
