The Final DWNLOAD

Hello all,

I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Red Seat Ventures, a Fox Corporation company, as VP of Business Development.

If you’ve been reading this newsletter, you know my themes: scale matters, value is created when content and tech come together, and the creator economy represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build. At RSV and Fox, I now get to put those ideas to work, building on one of the most successful track records in creator-led media.

My focus will be M&A and partnerships, working with companies across the creator, podcast, and media landscape to unlock growth at scale. So if you’re a CEO or founder thinking about selling, whether that’s now or down the line, let’s talk. We’re open for business. 

This also marks the end of this newsletter. It’s been a year and a half since I sent out the first DWNLOAD Report, and more than a thousand of you have joined me each Sunday night to think through where the industry is headed. I’m incredibly grateful for that support, as well as all of the tremendous feedback, and I hope this next chapter can build even bigger things together.

This is going to be fun. Let’s go.

Chris
