Dekkoo is a Philadelphia-based subscription streaming service with a focus on LGBT+ related content, particularly by and for gay men.[1][2] It features a mixture of programs from other sources and original content,[1][3] and derives its income from subscription fees rather than advertising.[4] It is available on streaming devices such as Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Amazon Fire.[5]

The service was co-founded in 2015 by Derek Curl and Brian Sokel.[1][2] The launch followed the 2014 acquisition of TLA Entertainment Group in 2014. [6]

According to Sokel, the name is based on a Hindi slang word, "dekka", which he said means "take a glance at something" and they thought the name "Dekkoo just sounded cuter."[7]

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the company launched a short-film contest.[8][9][10]
