Optimists Only: Building Content Businesses in a “Shrinking” Market
Consolidation headlines suggest fewer buyers, fewer slots, and a tougher path to growth. So why are some companies still optimistic about the future?
This conversation brings together operators who are actively building and backing content businesses across multiple fronts. Rather than retreating in the face of industry contraction, they’re rethinking what a scaled content business looks like in 2026 and beyond.
Expect a candid discussion on where capital is really flowing, how business models are evolving, and where they are placing bets, including YouTube, vertical video, creator representation, as well as "traditional" high quality scripted and unscripted film and television.
Where are the real opportunities right now? What’s overhyped? And what does a “successful” content company even look like today?
