What is IPR.VC?

IPR.VC is an investment fund manager that specializes in financing high-quality film and TV content. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Helsinki with an office in London, the firm operates as a partner-owned entity and complies with EU alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) regulations, under the supervision of the Finnish Financial Supervision authority.

A key aspect of their operation involves connecting institutional investors, which include pension funds, family offices, and non-profit sector investors, with original media productions. IPR.VC has successfully raised over 150 million euros across three different funds, contributing to the development of the creative industry.

The firm has financed over 50 productions, many of which have received nominations and acclaim from prestigious international festivals and major awards organizations such as the Oscars and Golden Globes. IPR.VC's investment thesis is based on the understanding that the film and TV content industry is not correlated to macroeconomic trends, pointing out that media and entertainment consumption remains consistent, regardless of economic conditions.

This unique market perspective allows them to provide strategic long-term capital to content studios and distributors, supporting the production of compelling and profitable media content. Notable successes include several of their productions reaching critical acclaim, being nominated for awards, and achieving significant financial returns, such as a 4x profit from the documentary 'Skywalkers - A Love Story' acquired by Netflix.

This hands-on approach evidences their commitment to fostering profitable and critically successful media projects.
