The initial concept for Overlay.TV came about when the wife of one of our founders was watching a notoriously popular fashion-themed television show.

She commented to her husband that she loved the shoes sported by the diminutive star but, alas, did not know where to find them. It was then that her husband had an epiphany - what if you could click on stuff while you watch it and find out more about it?

In that moment the idea for Overlay.TV was born. Founded in 2007, Overlay.TV received its first round of VC funding that same year and has been evolving ever since
