What started as a simple DVD rental service in 1997 became a global entertainment powerhouse. Inspired by a $40 late fee, Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph launched Netflix with a bold new vision: a subscription-based model that put viewers first. In 2007, Netflix pioneered online streaming, forever changing how audiences consumed content. By 2013, it stepped into original programming with House of Cards, setting the stage for a wave of groundbreaking shows and films. Today, Netflix continues to redefine entertainment, bringing stories to screens across the world—anytime, anywhere. Read on to discover the story behind Netflix’s rise, its game-changing strategies, and how it transformed the entertainment industry forever. What’s in a Name? Where did Netflix come from? The first part of the name, “net,” is short for Internet. The second part, “flix,” is an alternate spelling for the slang word flicks, meaning movies or films. The name is the perfect blend of terms related to what the company is all about. It’s short, catchy, and easy to spell. Netflix has forever changed the way people watch videos at home. Its rise to the top has been fast and filled with risk—even a misstep or two. What started as a humble DVD-by-mail service has transformed into an entertainment giant, shipping its billionth DVD by 2007. By 2015, more than 65 million subscribers worldwide enjoyed the company’s streaming content, its mail-order service, or both. Today, Netflix is woven tightly into everyday life. While it didn’t create the practice of binge-watching, it’s arguably the streaming service most people think of when they hear the term. In 2023, Netflix claimed more than 250 million subscribers.
