Barcelona-based Titan OS has secured $46 million in new funding, bringing its total capital raised to $110 million, to accelerate global expansion of its smart TV operating system. The round includes equity from existing investors Highland Europe and Mangrove Capital Partners, alongside a credit facility from BlackRock-managed funds. The company now serves approximately 30 million users—up from 18 million in the prior year—through partnerships with major TV manufacturers including Philips, Sharp, AOC, Vestel, and Skyworth.
