What they look for
Atwater Capital's thesis is centered on extracting synergies by applying quantitative rigor to creative strategy. They aim to unite the valuable creative aspects of growing media companies with deep operational and financial expertise under one roof. They explicitly look for high-quality content, local-language media, and companies aimed at specific, underserved demographics or communities. They are also highly interested in live events and sports properties that possess a strong "curatorial value" and a grassroots-to-pro ecosystem.
