The Firm

“We build dominant interactive assets that add value and convenience to work, home & play.”

Michael Gerrity
Founder & Chairman
MultiChannel Ventures

MultiChannel Ventures ("MCV") is a boutique private equity firm that primarily develops or acquires early stage IPTV video networks, content distribution, interactive advertising, social networking, lead generation and eCommerce businesses in which significant shareholder value can be created by leveraging and exploiting enabling technologies, efficiencies of the web, market trends, business relationships and management expertise.

All of our interactive assets meet the following criteria:

»	Demand aggregators for large national / global vertical markets.
»	Meta-mediators of supply and demand in those vertical markets.
»	Use the web to deliver efficiencies to large, fragmented offline markets.

MCV was founded in 2002 by Michael Gerrity and is headquartered in Universal Studios – Orlando, Florida. The company is broken into three primary business units which consist of:

»	Interactive Group – Transaction-based, Lead Generation & eCommerce Assets.
»	Networks Group – Video Programming, Social Networking, Content Distribution & Advertisings Networks.
»	Investment Group – MCV Equity Position(s) in Public Media / Technology Companies.

A Consistent, Disciplined Approach to Value Creation

MCV manages our business portfolio with a single goal: to maximize the overall returns of our equity investments over a five-to-seven year period. We believe the consistent application of this philosophy, combined with disciplined patience, focus and prudent capital structure will result in superior long-term returns for our investment partners and ourselves. Our approach to creating shareholder value has three primary components:

»	The expansion of existing portfolio companies.
»	The acquisition, disposition, merger or bifurcation of media assets when opportunistic.
»	Management of our capital structure to raise capital, manage interest rates, amplify returns and/or reduce exposure of our investments in various digital media assets, and to maintain access to capital markets.
