What We Look For
Hearst Strategic Investments takes minority positions in companies that focus on emerging media and interactive technologies. We are interested in any organization that is changing how media is produced, consumed, bought or sold.
“We are looking for companies that are at the forefront of the changing media landscape, and are extremely proud to have been behind some of the most exciting media startups of the last 15 years.”
When considering an investment, Hearst Interactive Media evaluates: 1) the quality of the company’s management team 2) the potential for the company to create significant, long-term profits and 3) the extent to which the company is changing media and spearheading innovation in the industry.
Our initial investment in a private company is typically $2 million to $10 million. We also consider larger investments. Our focus is on expansion-stage companies, but we look at investments at all development stages, including publicly-traded companies. As a financially driven venture group, we do not require companies to have relationships with other areas of Hearst; however, such mutually-beneficial relationships are always desired.
If you would like us to review an opportunity, please send us your business proposal for consideration.
