Telly

Ilya Pozin is the founder and CEO of Telly, the biggest innovation in TV since color. Launched out of stealth in May of 2023, Telly is transforming both the consumer television experience, morphing the TV from a monitor on the wall into the smartest and most useful device in the home, and the very way in which content is delivered and consumed all on a free, ad supported dual-screen television. Prior to founding his fifth company Telly, Pozin co-founded Pluto TV, challenging a half-century-old model for content distribution, believing consumers deserved to share in the value exchange of advertising with free ad-supported TV.

Telly’s dual screen design features a stunning 55-inch 4K HDR main Theater Display, a secondary Smart Screen seamlessly merging traditional television viewing with interactive experiences and a sound bar.  This game-changing device goes way beyond streaming, Telly's Smart Screen brings everything from video calling powered by Zoom, news, weather and sports updates, smart home controls, casual games, music, Telly AI voice assistant, motion tracking fitness, and so much more to the living room.  And with Telly’s innovative ad-supported model, consumers are able to enjoy the smartest TV every built along with all of these premium features for the revolutionary price of free.
