SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, 15 June, 2021 – Reelgood, a San Francisco-based start-up that makes an all-in-one streaming TV guide, was selected among hundreds of candidates as one of the World Economic Forum’s “Technology Pioneers.” Reelgood offers a free consumer product, as well as B2B services, including streaming catalog data and industry insights for tech companies, studios, and hedge funds.
