We (Remagine Ventures) and our friends at Fusion LA are happy to invite founders, investors and media experts to the inaugural Media and eSports Online Annual Conference. The event will highlight startups and technologies in the media, entertainment, gaming and esports domains, with a spotlight on Israel.
Much like the virus, the economic impact of Covid-19 doesn’t discriminate and has impacted startups in a big way. But lockdown has forced people to stay at home around the world, increasing their overall time spent consuming entertainment/content and playing games online. This is all true for Zoom and Netflix, but what’s been the impact on the startups? Have they experienced tailwinds in their traction or has it gotten harder to grow?
The event will be streamed via Zoom and Facebook live on June 23th, 16:00-20:00 Israel time (UTC+3)
The speaker line up includes various industry leaders (Snap Inc., Facebook, YouTube, The Esports Observer), top founders in the entertainment tech and esports verticals in Israel (including Remagine’s portfolio companies NOVOS and Vault AI) and the leading Israeli VC investors in this space. The event will cover the trends, as well as the challenges and opportunities for Israeli startups who are active in these verticals.
Kevin Baxpehler (my partner), will cover trends in virtual worlds and the acceleration of the Metaverse. Danny Peled (KDC/ Keshet) will cover trends in the media industry, from automated content creation to monetisation. Guy Katsovitch (Fusion LA), will moderate the investors panel with Danny Peled (Viola Ventures), Gad Huldai (Pitango) and Leonard Langenscheidt from Bitkraft in Berlin. You will also hear from Chris Hana, CEO of eSports observer, on the impact of Covid-19 on eSports popularity.
I’ll be moderating the founders panel with David Stiff (Vault AI), Or Briga (Novos), Anastasia Logvinenk (Pudding.ai), Eran Gertler (Shapeshift) and Shay Shem Tov (Gavra Games) to discuss some of the challenges and opportunities in this space.
