4D Sight

4D Sight develops computer-vision software that inserts or replaces advertising inside live video without requiring physical signage at the venue. It works with broadcasters, rights holders and gaming platforms, and its website names UFC, WWE and NFL among the production environments using its technology. The company says it is headquartered in San Francisco with operations in the USA and Turkey. Its platform also provides measurement tools for on-screen placements. Availability and advertising rules depend on the broadcast, market and rights agreement; this is not a consumer streaming subscription.

DraftKings

DraftKings began with daily fantasy contests in 2012 and now offers several digital sports-entertainment products. Its sportsbook lists markets for major American leagues as well as football, golf and tennis, with access subject to local licensing, age and location requirements. The official company and careers pages identify Boston as its headquarters. DraftKings is a publicly traded company on Nasdaq under DKNG, rather than a private local startup. A link to its website does not imply that every product is available in Ireland or elsewhere; users must check the applicable legal and responsible-gaming conditions.
