Manage episode 379701076 series 1166483
In this episode of The Compassionate Capitalist Show™, Karen chats with Jon Gosier, a successful entrepreneur turned venture capitalist, who has made a significant impact in the worlds of adtech, fintech, and film financing. Here are the key points they explore:
1. Unlikely Combinations in Entrepreneurship: Jon Gosier is a prominent figure in both the tech and film finance spaces. We'll discuss how this unusual combination of expertise came about and the challenges young entrepreneurs face when deciding which problem to solve and build a company around, and then transitioning from building a company to becoming investors solving the problems they're passionate about.
2. The Film Industry and Georgia's Tax Credits: Georgia's generous tax credits have transformed the state into a filmmaking hub with a massive economic impact. Karen highlights the significance of these credits and how they have attracted big studios, making Georgia second only to California in producing blockbuster movies. However, the challenge remains to create a sustainable year-round industry with benefits for all stakeholder. This includes both ends of the spectrum - helping creatives understand what is needed to attract funding and includes attracting and educating private investors to back projects with the great potential.
3. Jon Gosier's Entrepreneurial Journey: Learn from Jon's journey, from his early days as a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), where he focused on the technology side of the music industry, to being recognized as one of the "new faces of Black Leadership" by TIME Magazine. Along the way, he co-founded companies like AfriLabs and Appfrica . We'll also touch on his latest venture, Audigent, a rapidly growing adtech data platform for audience engagement analytics in the music industry.
4. Film Financing and Fintech: Jon's most recent ventures, FilmHedge and Southbox Entertainment, are at the heart of this podcast episode. FilmHedge, with $100 million under management, is one of the few groups capable of green-lighting films in Georgia, bringing much-needed capital to the state. Southbox Entertainment, with $80 million in fresh funds, introduces an innovative film finance model, which contributes to the financial funding stack for films and streaming entertainment. We'll explore how fintech is used to manage the risk associated with financing future distribution contracts, revolutionizing the film financing landscape.
