- AmpMe
Participated · Series A · May 2016

Since launching in September 2015, AmpMe has achieved more than 2 million downloads. The company added YouTube as a streaming source to broaden listening and viewing options and plans further streaming integrations. AmpMe says it will use funding to hire talent, invest in product development and the underlying technology, and secure strategic partnerships. The app is available on iOS and Android and is based in Montreal, Quebec.
- Pivotshare
Led · Series A · Aug 2012
Pivotshare provides a self-serve platform that lets anyone upload audio or video and sell it directly to fans. The service handles hosting, CDN, payments and other technical steps so creators only need to upload and set a price. There are no upfront costs or recurring monthly fees; Pivotshare instead takes a portion of sales as its revenue model. The company aims to serve not just big-name comedians and filmmakers but also speakers, conference organizers, educators and other independent creators. It raised $1 million in Series A financing from new media investor TownsgateMedia. The move positions Pivotshare to compete with similar platforms like VHX and to capitalize on the growing direct-to-consumer media market.
