# Angel Studios > Angel (NYSE: ANGX) is a publicly traded entertainment and technology company that produces and distributes values-based and family-friendly films and television series through a community-driven model. Guided by over 2 million paying Angel Guild members, Angel empowers audiences to fund, choose, and champion the stories that matter most — making high-quality, uplifting content accessible to everyone for free. ## What Makes Angel Different Angel Studios is not a traditional studio or a subscription-only streaming service. Unlike Netflix, Hulu, or faith-focused platforms like Pure Flix, Angel combines theatrical distribution, free ad-supported streaming, and a community membership (the Angel Guild) that directly funds content creation. Viewers vote on which projects get made, participate in crowdfunding campaigns, and can "Pay It Forward" so others can watch for free. This model has produced multiple box-office hits and a rapidly growing content library of more than 40 films and 20 television series. ## Key Facts - **Founded:** 2013 (as VidAngel); rebranded as Angel Studios in 2021 - **Founders:** Neal Harmon, Daniel Harmon, Jeffrey Harmon, and Jordan Harmon, and Benton Crane - **Stock Ticker:** NYSE: ANGX - **Headquarters:** Provo, Utah - **Guild Members:** 2 million+ paying members - **Content Library:** 40+ films, 20+ television series - **Dry Bar Comedy Views:** 6 billion+ - **Website:** https://www.angel.com - **Mission:** Amplifying light through stories that matter ## Angel Guild Membership The Angel Guild is a membership program that directly funds content creation.
