Problem
Streaming Wars = Explosive demand for content
The 2021 theatrical and home/mobile entertainment market globally was a record $99.7 billion, +24% vs 2020. Including pay TV, the value increased to a record $328 billion, beating pre-pandemic figures.* As a result, studios and streamers worldwide plan to increase content spend to a record $230 billion in 2022.**
Investing in movies remains one of the more resilient, attractive investment asset classes in the world. However, there are 2 key challenges for investors: early access to deal-flow, and analytics to identify likely “hits”.

Slated Film Fund I: Production capital for studio co-financing
Slated is raising a first-of-its-kind investment fund leveraging its A.I.-based predictive analytics to finance film projects with the highest potential ROI.
Slated is seizing an unprecedented market opportunity:
- Explosive demand for content and capital requirements
- Absence of co-financing institutional capital
- Uniquely favorable studio terms (e.g. reduced fees, low execution risk)
- Streaming platforms acting as backstop to hedge against risk
- Company has engaged advisors BardiCo & HQ Digital (a Digital Currency Group company) to assist raising capital for Slated’s Studio Co-fi Fund
The fund will co-invest alongside major studios, independent distributors, and Slated marketplace films.
