Aries Media Project aims to accelerate media and entertainment startups in emerging markets by connecting them to resources in global media hubs. This objective is rooted in three core beliefs:
Media plays a critical role in advancing societies through information and entertainment, and when the media reflects the societies it serves, those societies flourish, both socially and economically
The global media and entertainment market is inefficient because the resources required to build best-in-class content businesses are overwhelmingly concentrated in a handful of cities
There is an opportunity to accelerate media and entertainment startups in emerging markets by bridging the gap between the entrepreneurs who build them, and the networks that sit outside those markets
Aries serves as an intermediary between media startups in emerging markets, and professionals with a vested interest in those businesses. It achieves this by managing an international network of founders, operators, advisors, and investors, connecting them to one another when they present mutually beneficial goals. Some examples of how Aries supports this network include:
Access to global experts who can help scale your business
Relationships with boards and businesses seeking expertise
Counsel navigating geopolitics and introductions to thesis-aligned founders
Joining the network is completely free. By joining Aries, you are joining a multi-sided network that connects when goals are mutually aligned. You will share your objectives as a founder, operator, advisor or investor, and when an opportunity arises that aligns with your objectives, Aries will flag the opportunity for you, and will broker an introduction if all parties consent.
