The LA MediaTech Fund That Banned a Word From Its Deck | Seth Hallen, Hallstone Ventures

from Top Decile Podcast · host Decile Group

The word: "Hollywood." Seth Hallen spent 25 years on the technology side of film and television, including leadership roles at Panavision's Light Iron, Sony and Pixelogic, plus nine years as president of the Hollywood Professional Association. He cut the word from every fundraising conversation anyway, and closed Hallstone Ventures oversubscribed in 12 months.Hallstone backs the infrastructure behind how media gets made, distributed and paid for, at a point when creators have multiplied and the systems that support them have not caught up. It's not just backing tech for Hollywood, It's backing the systems that helps how content is communicated everywhere on Earth (and beyond).
