Netflix is an American media-services provider and production company headquartered in Los Gatos, California. The company was founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in Scotts Valley, California. Netflix is also a subscription-based streaming service which offers online streaming of a library of films and television programs, including their own "Netflix Original" content.
Netflix is headquartered in Los Gatos, California, in Santa Clara County, with the two CEOs, Hastings and Ted Sarandos, split between Los Gatos and Los Angeles, respectively. It also operates international offices in Asia, Europe and Latin America including in Canada, France, Brazil, Netherlands, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom. The company has production hubs in Los Angeles, Albuquerque, London, Madrid, Vancouver and Toronto. Compared to other distributors, Netflix pays more for TV shows up front, but keeps more "upside" (i.e. future revenue opportunities from possible syndication, merchandising, etc.) on big hits.
