Start with a website video.
A 90-second founder introduction: who you are, what you invest in, why.
VIDEO STRATEGY
A 90-second founder introduction: who you are, what you invest in, why.
A market observation, a portfolio note, a question you keep getting from LPs. 60–90 seconds, said clearly.
A fund update call, a conference panel, a pitch recording. We'll cut a clean clip to get you live, then build original videos from there.
Our Process
CASE STUDY
AGM Portfolio Spotlight
The result
A concise, story-driven portfolio spotlight that helped LPs quickly understand the opportunity, execution, and progress. A reusable asset beyond the AGM.
“We’re really happy with how the video came together. It worked great for the AGM, and we’ll definitely be doing a few more of these each year.”

We don't spend your shoot day getting up to speed on your industry.
GET STARTED
A 15-minute strategy call to explore your goals and where video can make the biggest impact. No commitment.
A 90-second founder introduction for your website: who you are, what you invest in, why. One clear video beats a five-video plan that never gets made.
Yes, especially at your size. Only 17% of the Emerging Managers we studied use video at all. Smaller and newer firms have more to gain from standing out and less competition doing it.
Portfolio highlights, used between segments. LPs sit through a lot of slides in one day. A short video re-energizes the room and gives LPs a clearer picture of a company than a slide can.
Yes. A well-made portfolio spotlight can support a banker’s CIM later, especially if the company is a strong candidate for exit. Worth planning for at the time of filming, not after.
Yes, that’s the intent from the start. One shoot is built to produce content for several places, not a single video for a single use.
We prep people with themes, not scripts. Knowing roughly what you’ll be asked ahead of time is usually enough to speak clearly and confidently.
We handle it end to end: strategy, production, and edit. You don’t need your own crew or equipment.
