The Box Group
The Box Group blurs venture studio and holding company lines, operating Screenz, TLV Media Lab, and several product businesses from six offices worldwide.
The Box Group
Founded in 2001 as a recording studio, The Box Group evolved into a multi-continent holding group operating at the intersection of content and technology. Its footprint spans Menlo Park, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Tel Aviv, and Mumbai. The group describes its own history as a string of 'first of' commercial projects, including building augmented reality brand experiences as early as 2009 and running interactive live-television events that processed inputs from more than a million concurrent viewers. The group runs four active operating divisions with distinct mandates. Screenz operates two units: a big-data analytics platform that maps user 'Entertainment DNA' for broadcasters such as ABC, Univision, and Globo Brazil, and an originals studio that produces interactive television and web formats. TLV Media Lab, co-founded with Israeli angel investor Oded Vardi and the US-based Hispanic media company Univision, acts as the group's early-stage investment fund; it has deployed capital into six B2C and media companies since 2016 and does not accept unsolicited pitches. A separate corporate-venture unit, I& (Israel and), connects Israeli startups with global enterprise partners. The Box Advertising, active for 13 years, has delivered digital campaigns for brands including Nike, Bose, and Leumi Bank. The group also operates several product companies. Eventer is a smart ticketing platform for producers and venues, while incounter generates micro-communities on any web page through an embeddable chat-and-video widget. Meuzan, a financial services agency built for startups and SMBs, manages accounting for the entire group and roughly 30 external clients. The firm says it draws technical talent from R&D centers in Israel's technology corridor and exercises hands-on management across its portfolio. The Box Group's structure blends a corporate venture arm, an early-stage fund, and internally incubated operating businesses — an architecture designed to recycle media-sector expertise across multiple vehicles. That design is most visible in the tight integration between Meuzan's financial services and the group's own internal finance needs, a feedback loop that keeps back-office capability tethered directly to the operating companies it serves.

Frequently asked questions
What is TLV Media Lab, and how does it fit into The Box Group's structure?
TLV Media Lab is an early-stage investment fund co-founded by The Box Group, Israeli angel investor Oded Vardi, and Univision. It focuses on seed-stage media and B2C companies and has backed six portfolio firms since 2016. The fund operates quietly and does not accept unsolicited submissions. It functions as the group's primary vehicle for external startup investment, distinct from its internally incubated operating businesses.
Does The Box Group operate its own technology products?
Yes. The group has built several proprietary platforms, including Eventer (a smart ticketing and event-management system) and incounter (an embeddable widget that creates real-time micro-communities on any web page). It also runs Screenz, a dual-division business that licenses audience analytics software to major broadcasters and produces original interactive television content.
How does The Box Group source and support its portfolio companies?
The group relies on a mix of internal incubation and selective external investment. Internally, new ventures are built from within its operating ecosystem, often drawing on R&D talent in Israel. Externally, TLV Media Lab deploys seed capital into media-tech and B2C startups, leveraging the networks of its co-founders. For Israeli startups, the I& (Israel and) unit brokers commercial partnerships with large global corporations seeking innovation access.
Is The Box Group's advertising agency still active?
Yes. The Box Advertising has been operating for 13 years, delivering digital strategy, branded content, and augmented-reality campaigns. Named clients include Nike, Bose, Partner Communications, Castro Jeans, and Leumi Bank. The agency's work dating back to 2009 includes early commercial augmented-reality experiences, which the group cites as first-of-kind projects.
Does The Box Group provide financial services beyond its own portfolio?
Yes, through Meuzan. Meuzan is a tech-enabled financial agency serving startups and small-to-medium businesses. It handles accounting, tax, and financial operations for roughly 30 external clients in addition to managing all financial needs for The Box Group itself. The service is framed as an A-to-Z solution informed by decades of media-sector experience.
