The money is
already moving.

We proved this before we raised a dollar. Bootstrapped, on years of relationships and real founder sacrifice. In just three months of early traction we have signed retainers, paid productions, over a million views on delivered content, and owned film IP in active deals. This is only the agency side of one of five engines. An investor here is not funding an experiment, they are funding the acceleration of something that already works, and the reason to capitalize the momentum now.

Malbon Golf

our largest account / luxury golf + streetwear / won on production, expanded to aor
Signed + Active
We won Malbon on production, embedded, and expanded into an always-on agency of record for organic and paid across their property slate (Buckets Cup, Malbon Home, Malbon Women, flagship). Three-plus productions shot and delivered, including same-day assets Malbon posted live during the events. Now building their two biggest activations of the year: Malbon Home at Augusta for the Masters, and Malbon Home at the US Open, Pebble Beach.

bumpp.gg

blueberry entertainment / gaming's creator platform / same path: won production, expanded to partnership
Signed + Prepaid
The same way we do business: bumpp first hired us for a production, we delivered, and it expanded into a full three-month partnership signed October 1, prepaid in full. Hot Juice runs production oversight of the show slate from day one, a minimum of ten new shows a month including Hot Juice-produced tentpoles, social cut from every show, and creator sourcing inside one of the most active creator communities in gaming. Re-scopes into a larger retainer-plus-equity partnership in the new year.

Long-form brand storytelling, YouTube-focused, strategy and editorial, the same full-engine model as Malbon. A premium brand coming to us for the content engine.

Brands are taking notice

in active conversation off the back of the work

What we actually built is the engine. Brands spend millions on content that then falls through the cracks, shot once, posted once, never worked across paid. We build the infrastructure, the content and editorial teams, and the systems, so content works across organic, every channel, and paid performance. For Malbon that is three drops a week, same-day, usable everywhere. That is efficiency, social growth, and revenue growth from the same spend. It is an engine we can turn on for any brand, build the team around, and manage to the expectation. We are smack in the middle of the early traction that proves it works.

Where this goes

these accounts are already set to ramp, and we grow with them

This is the part that compounds. We do not just hold these accounts, we build the foundation underneath them, and they scale on top of it. The same land-and-expand that took Malbon from a single production to an always-on AOR is already in motion on every account. The next 30 to 90 days are foundational embeddedness. 2027, only three months away, is the catapult.

2027: adding $12M in paid spend, scaling from 280 to 800 paid pieces a month
bumpp.gg
now: ~$17K / mo, 3-month launch

2027: $25K to $35K / mo as they raise and scale alongside us
One client model, compounding. We are going from roughly $500K to $600K amortized today into a step-change in 2027, and that is before new logos. Each account we embed in grows on its own, and we grow with it. That is why the next 90 days matter: foundation now, sprint to scale next.

How we win, and why we scale

we have done this before. this is our bread and butter.

We know how to sell these clients and we know how to deliver. Every one of us has come out of running teams, growing businesses, and building companies, and every one of us plays multiple positions. We do not front-load the team and hope. We build around the opportunity as it lands, senior people who each do the work of several, backed by offshore depth through MultiplyMii and AI agents our own team built to run reporting, back-of-house, and the systems that used to cost a fortune to keep in house. That is how our margins hold while we scale.

What we have now is the hard part: the hot start. The brand, the traction, the awareness, and relationships with incredible brands that only get bigger. The one thing we need is the capital to scale with the work as the complexity grows, service revenue comes with real cash-flow timing, invoices run late, and we need the stability to keep investing in offshore, infrastructure, and the team. We have been self-funded this whole time. We are a few clients away from seven figures on the services side alone.

We proved this before we raised a dollar. This is bootstrapped. Every founder has taken real risk and endured a lot to get it here, years of relationships, years of building, no major investment behind us. We did not want to guess with someone else's money, so we built the brand, won the clients, delivered the work, and proved the model first. That is the whole point: an investor is not funding an experiment. They are funding the acceleration of something that already works, built by a team that has already shown it will do whatever it takes.
The ultimate play: build this into a multi seven-figure business and beyond, earn real valuations, and look to exit within three to five years. It may not be one exit. We are an umbrella: a production studio, an editorial and content engine, live commerce, events, and owned IP. Each part becomes more valuable as we add and support clients, and each can stand on its own.

Next year we build the event that replaces VidCon, together with Reach.

The partner we are looking for

capital is the start of the conversation, not the end

Whoever invests takes a significant position on this cap table, and we will treat them that way. We are not looking for passive money. We are looking for a partner who understands the creator economy, how creators are reshaping brands and entertainment, and why brands increasingly want a trusted editorial and content partner instead of a heavy in-house team, it saves them money and removes the overhead and the liability. We see that as our niche, it feels right, and we are going to keep expanding on it. The right partner has the infrastructure, resources, and relationships to compress our timeline, and the conviction to help us capture this window before anyone else builds it. We are raising in phases, tied to growth: $2M to $3M now to capture the demand already in front of us, then larger growth marks as the run-rate and the studios prove out. The first phase keeps the momentum hot and builds a company ready for what is already coming.
