Nov 4 Update: Click here for press on our latest movie deal on Deadline!

The platform opens the historically closed Hollywood, and liberates storytellers by providing access to world-class producers and the information previously held only by studios, distributors and talent agencies.

In 2017, we successfully built and grew our "Incubator" that connects storytellers and producers to create film and TV. 

In 2021, by connecting these storytellers & producers with our new "Audience Platform", we've found our new big idea. 

We are proud to unveil www.voyagemedia.fm our bigger, bolder vision that leverages our community of storytellers, producers and now audiences across film, TV, podcasts, books, music and video games, and built on our newly minted audio-drama podcast division.

Update: Breaking Bad's Dean Norris on working with Voyage Media:

"Wattpad with Podcasts"

With our fast-growing listening audience, Voyage now joins companies like Wattpad (connecting writers and readers, acquired by Naver for $600 million) and podcast studios Wondery (acquired by Amazon for $300 million) and Gimlet Media (acquired by Spotify for $200 Million).

“Our new audience platform, VoyageMedia.fm, has given Voyage a whole new flywheel… a wonderful way for our storyteller clients to share stories with over 600 million listeners worldwide, a new advertising revenue stream, a way to test stories in the market and create traction, and ultimately a new way to share stories with the entertainment industry for the home-run paydays of movies and shows.”

Why Are We Raising Money?

This fundraise is an opportunity for the crowd to buy stock in our company before strategic investors and before mergers and acquisitions. 

And with all our Key Performance Indicators skyrocketing, the time is now.

Forward looking projections cannot be guaranteed

Our Audio Drama Podcast Division Is Taking Off: We suspected the Audio Drama Podcast business would be a smart play for Voyage, but we didn't know just how quickly it would soar. While in Stealth Mode, we produced and released 3 audio dramas, all of which hit 'top 100' podcast charts on Apple, and started growing an audience network in the 10s of thousands. The division is already yielding mid-6 figure revenues and we are on pace to beat our own estimates:

The proceeds from this raise will be used to build our bold new future without risking working capital, and enable us to invest in new technology, the capability to exploit the whole new revenue streams podcasting presents, and ramp up the growth of our community of storytellers and audiences.

Our vision is to, by 2025 achieve a $200-300 million dollar valuation, by growing our storyteller-user base to 2.4m and producing 600 podcast episodes, 12 movies and over 100 television episodes every year. And with an audience of 100 million!

Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.

Forward looking projections cannot be guaranteed

By 2025, we map net profits at $21 million on gross revenue of over $58 million.

Our profit margins are so high because of our underlying financial model:

*We make money during the development of content. For all other studios in the world, development is an expense/liability, yet at Voyage, development is an income stream. These revenues are described in the chart below as "Incubator Revenue" and "Incubator Net Income".

*Not only do we make money during development of content, we also share in the content's upside with producer fees, profit sharing and ad-revenue. this is indicated in the chart below as "Producer Fee & Ad Revenue", or what we refer to as 'gravy'.

The Market

Voyage is well positioned to claim its unique piece of the over $2.6 trillion global Entertainment & Media industry.

Our business model lies where emerging trends in the market converge:

Now is the time to get in.
