Investment Thesis

Crush Ventures invests early into companies building technology and brands that will impact pop culture. They leverage their two decades of experience building Crush Music, a global talent management powerhouse, to provide portfolio companies with unfair go-to-market advantages through direct access to their artist relationships, operating expertise, and powerful network of top-tier talent.

What Sets Them Apart

Deep embedded relationships with major artists (Miley Cyrus, Green Day, Panic! at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, Lorde, Sia, Weezer) that can be leveraged for portfolio company growth
Unique ability to facilitate artist partnerships, collaborations, and brand integrations for early-stage companies
Operating expertise from building and scaling a successful talent management business for over 20 years
Active value-add through demonstrated case studies: artist endorsements, festival launches, social media amplification, and community building with artist fan bases
Focus on pop culture impact rather than purely financial returns
