Strengths
says, "Pencilish is developing an artists-first animation studio for investing in creators/artists with unique IP. The founders have backgrounds in marketing and 30yrs in the animation industry. Their advisory board includes well known Disney directors, voice-over artists, and animators! Their mission is to empower artists to have fun & engage by creating an outlet in the form of a Youtube Channel for artists to connect to their audiences. Similar to the music industry, getting artists “signed” to Pencilish could lead to “big breaks” for artists and animators, which excites them. "
Advice
says, "Given the nature of the entertainment industry and the business model of Pencilish, marketing is going to play a huge role. If Pencilish can brand themselves as the goto company for animators/artists to get the right exposure then there will be ample content, IP, and creators knocking at their door. The challenges lie in picking the best talent and so I would advise for every X safe plays Pencilish should try to take a bet on 1 unique IP/artist. "

What Investors Say

Invested $1,000 this round
An animation studio is only as good as its people. I'm excited about Pencilish because of the talent they've been able to put together from WB, Disney, and Pixar. This is an all-star group of individuals that know what they are doing in one of my favorite storytelling mediums: Animation. Though it's a powerful way to tell stories, animating something is a path fraught with roadblocks for creators. Pencilish is a next gen animation studio that smashes these barriers by leveraging social media, the distributed workforce, accessible tools, and the online marketplace to bring exciting new worlds and stories into animation. Can't wait to see what kind of magic they will make!
