INVESTMENT THESIS

CAPITALIZING ON
THE ROTATION.

Cinema isn't dying; it's rotating 90 degrees. Vertikal is the scalable media infrastructure built to capture this shift and retain Black cultural ownership.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

The Gap

Audiences have moved to vertical video, but premium storytelling has not. "Clip Fatigue" is real. The market demands assets, not just noise.

The Leverage

Black culture is the #1 export of the internet. By financializing this influence through ownership, we create a defensible moat that traditional platforms cannot replicate.

EARLY CAPITAL RECOGNITION

Green Badge

Titanium Investor Badge

Pre-launch exclusivity. Permanent ownership signal. Early institutional partners only. Grants priority deal flow and permanent equity recognition. Not available post-launch. Represents ownership leverage.

  • Licensing: Selling IP to major streamers.
  • Franchises: Spin-offs and sequels.
  • Events: Live activations of digital IP.
  • Commerce: Transaction fees on creator merch.
