Our investment model is uniquely designed to support growth-stage consumer brands

What Sets Us Apart

A different kind of 
capital partner

MFG is neither a traditional venture fund nor a media agency. We invest media and strategic support in exchange for equity, aligning ourselves directly with the success of the brands we back.

Independent Advice

Backed by leading global media companies yet operating independently, we provide founders with objective access to the best media solutions.

Cross-Channel Media

We enable our founders to tap into a diverse set of high-reach channels across TV, Streaming, OOH TV, DOOH, Print, Digital, Radio and Podcast.

Hands-on Approach

We are a small, hands-on team working closely with founders to align media strategy, creative, measurement, and deployment across channels, tailored to each brand’s needs

Our Investment Model

Glass prism refracting and dispersing light into multiple beams and subtle rainbow colors on a black background.

We co-invest alongside leading funds, providing media as growth capital in exchange for equity. We don’t take board seats, but we stay closely involved, supporting founders where it counts.

Media Strategy & Planning

We start with strategy, assessing the brand, audience, distribution, and growth goals. Each market is evaluated independently to ensure media spend is optimized for both reach and efficiency.

Creative Production

We embed creative production into our media investment. This enables consistent, high-quality storytelling across channels, capabilities once reserved for the largest incumbents.

Measurement

White stationery items including rulers, pens, binder clips, erasers, and pencils arranged on a red, black, and white geometric background.

We work with leading measurement partners to understand cross-channel impact and guide smarter scaling beyond performance marketing.
