Platform has optimized its capabilities and relationships for consumer-media investing—combining a traditional financial approach to investing with specific insights and expertise in technology, demography, the creative process, and regulatory change.

Platform Investor Network

Platform cultivates a network of committed investors who can quickly form investment syndicates on a deal-by-deal basis. We employ this structure to allow investors to maintain control over their investment decisions, and allow Platform to source and execute the best investments regardless of size and stage. Platform works with the individual members of our Investor Network to understand their specific interests and requirements and to deliver investment opportunities that meet their needs.

Platform Strategic Network

To supplement the insight and experience of Platform’s principals, we have a strategic network of leaders with expertise critical to the execution of our investment thesis.

* Media Managers who understand how to transform media assets and monetize new business models.
* Technology Experts who understand how digital infrastructure and tools enable improved forms of production, distribution, and monetization.
* Creative Talent who understand how to entertain, inform, and engage audiences.
* Investment Professionals who understand how to source, structure and execute complex transactions.
* Public Sector Leaders who understand how to navigate the challenges that regulatory changes bring.

This powerful, multi-dimensional network enables Platform to track the most promising business developments, develop strong deal flow, and assemble the best managers to lead new efforts.
