- TheTake
Participated · Seed · Sep 2014
TheTake operates a website combining a Pinterest-like layout with proprietary shoppable video technology to give movie fans access to products and locations from films. Users can browse by movie, actor, and product category and are linked to retail partners where the exact product can be purchased. The platform also offers suggestions for comparable products at different price points. The company plans to launch a mobile application that uses automatic content recognition (ACR) to identify a film within seconds and display the specific scene on a user’s device. From the mobile scene view, users can tap to identify and shop all products in the scene. The company intends to use the new funding to expand its movie database, refine its shoppable video API, and market the upcoming mobile app launch.
- Dealflicks
Participated · Seed · Jul 2014
Dealflicks operates a mobile app that surfaces discounted movie tickets and concession offers by partnering with independent theaters and chains. The app is live in more than 400 theater locations and works with nine of the top 50 U.S. theater chains. Theaters set discounts by showtime, day of week, or expected attendance, with discounts up to 60% and typical ticket discounts around 30% (ticket+popcorn deals ~35–40% off). Dealflicks says roughly 88% of movie seats go unsold and up to 95% beyond opening weekend, driving demand for its service. The company plans to move toward purely dynamic pricing using its data to predict attendance and target discounts by factors like user ratings, opening-weekend performance, and weather. Dealflicks raised seed funding to expand its partnerships and advance its pricing capabilities.
