Private Market Investing:
Entertainment Industry Funds

Lesson #8

Watch on-demand

How do I invest in the media content I see every day?

The TV and movie streaming economy has exploded in recent years, as the streaming wars between Amazon, Apple, Hulu, Netflix, and Disney+ and more compete for content.

This has created a new dynamic for content creators, which can take advantage of the cash rich pockets of multiple hungry buyers. The flexibility of streaming platforms allows them to experiment with new, creative, or nimble smaller productions.

The COVID-19 Pandemic of the last year has further limited the supply of fresh content, while viewership numbers are increasing, putting opportunity in the hands of content creators who can finance and safely pull off production.

Join us in the Regiment Private Market Investment Series, to learn from Regiment Echo members Andy Salmen, with his experience in both news and streaming series production, Rodger Welp, who has successfully debuted films in Rocket Dollar's hometown at SXSW, and Kenny Estes who has launched venture capital funds in multiple different asset classes. They will educate us on how entertainment deals are financed, put into production, and pay out to investors when they are picked up by media content platforms.
