Barcelona's Titan OS, whose smart TV system runs on Philips, JVC and Sharp sets, raised about $46 million in equity and BlackRock-managed credit on 4 November 2026.
What Happened
Titan OS, a Barcelona-based company that makes the operating system for smart TVs sold under brands such as Philips, JVC and Sharp, has raised about $46 million (about €40 million) in new financing, it announced on Wednesday, 4 November 2026. The money combines equity from its existing investors, Highland Europe and Mangrove Capital Partners, with a credit facility from funds and accounts managed by BlackRock. The company said it would use the funds to enter new markets, sign more TV manufacturers, and improve both the viewing experience and its advertising technology. The round brings its total funding to about $110 million, or about €97 million.
Key Facts
- Company: Titan OS, founded in 2023, headquartered in Barcelona, with offices in London and Taipei and more than 200 staff.
- Announced: Wednesday, 4 November 2026.
- Amount: about $46 million (reported as €40 million to €40.9 million), combining equity and a credit facility.
- Investors: existing backers Highland Europe and Mangrove Capital Partners (equity); funds and accounts managed by BlackRock (credit facility).
- Total raised: about $110 million (about €97 million) to date.
- Customers: its software is licensed to TV brands including Philips, AOC, JVC, Vestel, Skyworth and Sharp.
- Previous round: a Series A reported at €50 million in December 2025, though reported figures for that round differ.
- Use of funds: new markets, more manufacturer partners, product development and connected TV advertising.
Why It Matters
Every smart TV needs an operating system, the software that runs the home screen, apps and settings. Titan OS offers TV brands an independent alternative that they can license, so they do not have to build their own system or depend on a rival's.
The business is not only software licensing. Titan OS says part of the new money will go into connected TV advertising technology, alongside improving what viewers see on screen. That points to the home screen of a smart TV as a place where advertising and app deals can earn money for the platform.
The mix of equity and debt is also notable. By adding a credit facility from BlackRock-managed funds rather than raising only new equity, the company's existing shareholders keep more of their ownership. Highland Europe and Mangrove backing the company again suggests that early investors see enough progress to put in more money.
Titan OS's list of partner brands, from Philips to Sharp, shows it has already persuaded several TV makers to adopt its system.
Peepals calculation: The two reported figures, $46 million and €40.9 million, imply an exchange rate of about $1.12 to the euro (46 ÷ 40.9 ≈ 1.125). If total funding is about €97 million and this round about €40.9 million, the company had raised roughly €56 million before it (97 − 40.9 ≈ 56.1), close to the reported €50 million Series A plus earlier money. This round is about 42% of all the funding the company has raised (40.9 ÷ 97). Our calculation from the reported figures.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Founded | 2023 |
| Headquarters | Barcelona |
| New financing | about $46 million (about €40 million) |
| Total raised | about $110 million (about €97 million) |
| Partner TV brands | Philips, AOC, JVC, Vestel, Skyworth, Sharp |
Impact
Short-term: Titan OS will use the money to approach TV makers in new markets and build out its advertising products for connected TV.
Long-term: If it signs more brands, Titan OS could become a significant independent platform on smart TVs, giving manufacturers and advertisers an option outside the biggest tech companies' systems.
Who is affected: TV manufacturers that license operating systems; viewers who buy TVs from Titan OS's partner brands; advertisers and streaming apps on connected TVs; and Titan OS's investors and staff.
Key Takeaway
Barcelona's Titan OS raised about $46 million in equity and BlackRock-managed credit on 4 November 2026 to take its smart TV operating system, used by Philips, JVC and Sharp TVs, to more brands and markets.
