The preeminent global venture development group for the media and technology industries, employing a proprietary framework of global partnerships, connecting capital and people advancing opportunities in modern media. ------ Our economy has for the better part of recent decades seen an evolution of media like never before. Technology led to publishing with the printing press, photography thanks to the camera, and music flourished with the invention of instruments and then the record player, radio, and compact disc. As the twentieth century wound to a close, we witnessed the impact of computer, software, internet, and smart phone; our experience with media is forever changed and we believe in that future seeing gaming, VR and immersive video, augmented reality, adtech, streaming, and more, changing not just entertainment but every facet of our lives. MediaTech Ventures works at the heart of the entire industry. We work in support of artists, developers, producers, entrepreneurs, and financiers. We consider “Media” a horizontal; the broadest set of things with which we work. Then define your work by way of the vertical, context, and consideration: Vertical: Video/TV, Radio/Podcast, Print/Online, VR/AR, Video Game, Music… Context: Live, entertainment, information, indie, international… Consideration: Funding, mobile, development, distribution, recruiting… We're working to create jobs, fund opportunity, and celebrate innovation in media.

Spreading intellectual capital to those who weren’t meant to have it #CatchCris🏃♀️💨 | Executive Development Advisor
"The definition of an entrepreneur is someone who doesn't perceive the world as work and life being separate, nor that it's even possible to find a balance between them, because they're one in the same." 🤔 Paul O'Brien posted this, and it made me go, "hmmm." So... at this Candid Café w/ Cris, I want us to dissect the concept of work/life actually being one-in-the-same. 👉 Hit the "Attend" button to get reminders to join.

We get a ton of film and music producers, directors, writers, and artists, reaching out to MediaTech Ventures asking about establishing their business or finding funding. Here's what we want you to do This past week, Ilya Zlatkin met with some of the founders in our early stage #startup incubator, reminding us that most #entrepreneurs have the same fundamental LEGAL questions: about agreements, entity type, and intellectual property. Follow his firm: Zlatkin Cann Entertainment He makes a point that we're going to paraphrase (because as lawyers always remind, "consult with a lawyer," since we're probably not capturing precisely what was said) that great *startup* lawyers would make themselves available to answer any question you have. You don't need to hire a lawyer, necessarily, as you can and should find one that will advise you; making themselves available for hire IF/WHEN you actually need representation or the work they do ❤️ How you proceed formally is indeed mired in a series of questions best suited to a lawyer, given where you live, what you're doing, and how. As you move on to seeking investors, having someone exceptional, such as Ilya, on in your corner is a brilliant and easy decision to make. Seeking help such as what we're doing here? Hope to help other founders? Get involved:
