About Event

Join us for an exclusive evening of social drinks and dealmaking at the intersection of media, sports, and entertainment in advance of Counterpart Venture’s annual conference.

Hosted by MFG, in partnership with Counterpart VC, this private gathering brings together leading corporate VCs, institutional investors, and media for equity fund managers to explore a bold new approach to value creation in venture: media capital.  

Food, drinks, and tastings will be available throughout the entirety of our event.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss This

Media-for-equity models are no longer experimental. They’re unlocking scalable growth and differentiated returns for media companies and a strategic growth path for consumer startups.

At MFG, we’re building on that foundation using media as an asset class, bringing together a diverse set of media partners to compound the value of their inventory via the startup ecosystem.

Join us to explore:

  • Media-for-equity as a blueprint for services-for-equity - to unlock new growth and monetization models for media CVCs

  • Curated dealflow across media, sports, entertainment, and consumer tech

  • Opportunities to partner with MFG as a media LP or co-investor

Who Should Attend:

  • Media Corporate VCs & strategic investors looking to deploy capital and services in smarter ways

  • LPs and institutional investors seeking differentiated access to media-backed venture

Who We Are

About Counterpart VC

Counter is Counterpart Ventures’ annual event that has morphed into the premier gathering of CVCs. Last year's event hosted 500+ investors from across the world. While the event has traditionally been open to corporate investors who are members, we have expanded to a week-long program to provide additional opportunities for industry-focused and founder events.

This annual gathering of corporate venture capitalists is perhaps the biggest and most exciting event of its sector! The main day of the conference, Counter VI, will be on Wednesday, September 10th.
