Why Media Capital Matters: Venture Insights from Amit Khosla, Executive Director, AYA Capital, Grupo Modelo's Private Investment Firm
We’re thrilled to welcome Amit Khosla, Executive Director at AYA Capital Inc. – 3rd generation alternative investment vehicle of one of the founding families of Grupo Modelo, Latin Americas largest vertically integrated brewing businesses.
The Private Office, while keeping a low public profile, is known in the right circles for its Blockchain, E-Gaming, B2B SaaS and Direct Consumer investments. They take a global approach with a focus on North/ South America and Europe. Relevant to this Podcast is an investment AYA made into Monou, an e-gaming business from Mexico which has recently secured $5m in Media Capital from one of MFG’s media partners, Televisa to help sustain its exponential growth across Mexico.
In this episode, we dive into 4 key topics:
- Hands-on VC Approach: Amit believes VCs must be active partners, not just capital providers.
- Disciplined Founder Focus: AYA backs founders who are strategic, capital-efficient, and resilient.
- Media Capital's Strategic Role: Media-for-equity is now essential for scaling consumer brands.
- Differentiation via “Fabulous Six”: Brands must stand out through chic design, community, tech, and sustainability.
