Real Vision produces on-demand, long-form video programming focused on finance and business, with videos that can run up to 90 minutes but usually last five to thirty minutes. The platform is subscription-based and charges $180 annually. It emphasizes deep, non-sensational coverage and reports that nearly 70% of customers who start a half- or hour-long video watch the entire piece. Founders Raoul Pal (formerly of Goldman Sachs) and Damian Horner (a former ad executive) conceived the company while traveling; the team targets viewers ages 36–45. Real Vision is expanding distribution (including Apple TV) and has a content distribution partnership with Thomson Reuters, and it plans a PBS documentary titled "A World on the Brink." The company intends to use new funding to create programming aimed at entrepreneurs, startups, and managers leveraging new technology.
