MEDIA DEALS is a pan-European network of investors interested in investing in the media sector. The network addresses business angels looking for opportunities in film, TV, mobile, video games, and new platforms.

The combined trends of the convergence of the media platforms and of the globalisation of the media markets makes it an imperative for media companies and media investors to develop strategies and look for opportunities beyond their national borders.

As the face of the MEDIA DEALS network for the outside world, this website aims to provide the following services to investors looking for investment opportunities and to media companies looking for finance:

• An information platform gathering industry-specific news and analysis on private investment in the IT media sector and its legal environment in cooperation with our partners Cineuropa.org and peacefulfish.
  
  
• A deal flow platform for media entrepreneurs looking for finance who can present their company or projects and start a dialogue in full confidentiality with the members of our network.

• A series of pitching events where media entrepreneurs will go through a business pitch training before pitching their company or projects directly to investors.
  
  
• A series of training seminars for investors offering industry-specific knowledge and tools to investors and managers of funds and networks in order to help them understand how to make the best deals in the media sector and how to find the best opportunities.
