Designing a Global Media Dealbook
As the media landscape fragments and legacy funding models fall short, creators and investors seek smarter ways to align. Despite broader access to tools and audiences, many high-potential ventures go overlooked. A 2024 World Economic Forum–McKinsey report found global venture funding for fintech, media, and creator platforms fell 67%, from $92 billion in 2021 to $30 billion in 2023, highlighting the absence of forward-looking, coordinated capital. Could a curated platform connecting mission-driven media with values-aligned investment unlock new innovation and a more resilient media future?
