- Q: 1) Based on the pitch, it sounds like you have a production studio and are also involved in talent representation. Assuming that's correct, are there any other lines of business/revenue streams that you have? 2) What was revenue for 2021, and what are your revenue projections going forward? Also, how much does each line of business contribute to revenues? 3) The pitch mentions being on par with CAA within 5 years. That is an incredibly high bar and I applaud your aspirations, but how do you plan to reach that goal? 4) Is there a place where I can find out more about the talent you represent and the projects you have in development/production?
