Why Raise Media Capital?

Many high-growth businesses reach a point where their need to scale cannot be matched by the resources or capital available to them.

Media for equity is a financing option that allows founders to accelerate their growth through significant advertising in exchange for an equity stake in the business.

Raising media capital is so much more than a mere exchange of advertising for a stake in the business:

Access to preferential rates and the ability to influence the campaign planning

Preserve cash and extend your runway

Work with an experienced team that understands both worlds, the online performance, and the offline branding approach

Raise larger financing rounds, focusing part of the capital on building long-term value.

Listen to Chris Sheldrick sharing his experience of doing a media for equity deal in India

When what3words launched in India they decided to engage Brand Capital International and Bennett Coleman and Co. Ltd. (Times Group) to provide these insights and maximise brand visibility among consumers and businesses.
