Red Seat Ventures partners with market-leading talents, brands, and personalities to develop unique media properties. We offer our client-partners an unprecedented mix of investment capital, technology, and skilled management, thereby allowing for the rapid launch of new businesses.
Red Seat’s custom approach leverages platforms and products ranging from web, mobile, OTT video, email, social, merchandise, live events, and audio/podcast and is highly dependent on our analysis of a client’s opportunities and objectives. We have in-house television and podcast studio and production capabilities, as well as a world-class ad sales team to ensure monetization begins quickly.
The Red Seat team has a long track record of successful real-world execution. We don't just dream up strategies and hand over a document, we align our interests with our partners and then live and breathe our businesses every day. When circumstances, contracts, or technology change, we are there to adapt and take advantage.
OUR PARTNERS
Our client portfolio includes well-known talents from film, radio, journalism, television, and beyond and it crosses genres as varied as news, sports, politics, true crime, entertainment, and faith (view a representative sample here.)
We look for opportunities to partner with talent and brands with these key commonalities:
> A unique connection with a defined audience.
> Access to a large or growing media platform (TV, radio, digital, etc.).
> Underdeveloped or underutilized digital assets.
We love working with people who have a start-up mindset and are willing to put in the hard work needed to create something truly great.
THE RED SEAT TEAM
As the team responsible for building one of the largest and most successful personality-influenced digital businesses in history—including one of the largest paid OTT video subscription services ever developed–we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to digital. We customize unique solutions for our partners based on their unique needs, constraints, and goals.
The Red Seat founders have years of experience working with high-profile talent and their respective teams—from agents to managers to key stakeholders at cable, broadcast, and radio networks. We work closely with all parties to design sustainable businesses that offer definitive and quantifiable results.
ABOUT OUR NAME
FENWAY PARK, BOSTON
SECTION 42, ROW 37, SEAT 21
It's a lone red seat in a sea of green and it marks the spot where the longest home run in Fenway Park history landed: 502 feet from home plate. It was hit by Ted Williams in June, 1946—and the record still stands today.
Sitting in seat 21 that day was an engineer named Joseph Boucher. After the game, he asked a reporter, "How far must one sit to be safe in this park?"
We chose the "Red Seat" name for our company because it symbolizes two things we work tirelessly with our partners to achieve: being the best and being unique.
