Part of the Xbox Launch Team. Strategic Advisor for FEARNET (Lion’s Gate/Sony/Comcast). Built the first website for NYT in 1994. He is an expert in CTV and streaming since its inception having sold Broadcast/Cable back in the 80s and 90s.

Peter launched his first company at 16 (because why not?) and has been building, fixing and scaling businesses ever since. He’s wrangled startups, led Indie Design Network as COO, and even navigated the high-stakes world of CBS and Sony production finance - which is basically corporate chess with bigger budgets and more coffee. Now as SVP he’s here to turn great ideas into real-world successes - because a vision is only as good as the team that brings it to life.

Laney is a high level dealmaker who’s been saving production from legal doom at Skybound, Rooster Teeth and NatGeo.

Having read scripts at The Black List, we know she’ll find some diamonds in the rough for us.

Mike pioneered VideoScanTM, the Bat-Signal for box office cash, helping Disney, Warner Bros, Sony, and Univeral track their billions.
