The creator is the company.
Creators are the most under-capitalized founders on earth.
A creator with two million followers has a product, a distribution channel and a brand. They usually don’t have a CFO, a lawyer, or anyone helping them scale at the pace they should be.
Headquarters Ventures backs creators and entertainment properties like startups. We write early checks, then show up as the management team: brand deals, production, hiring, distribution, and strategy. When the venture grows, we grow with it.
From pre-viral to Series Clout.
Pre-Viral
A format, a voice and under 250K followers. We fund gear, editing and time, and help find the bit that works.
Seed
Proven audience, no infrastructure. We step in as management: brand partnerships, contracts, a release schedule.
Series Clout
Millions of fans and a brand. We build the business around it: products, live tours, licensing, IP for TV and film.
Exit
An acquisition, a network deal, or the creator simply outgrowing us. We’ve done this once, sort of.
Three things.
A point of view
We back people with a take, not a trend. If your content could be made by anyone, it will be.
A format
Something repeatable that can become a series, a show, a live event or a product line.
Stamina
Consistency beats virality. We want people who’ll still be posting in year five.
Send us your channel, your format, and one sentence on why you.
