A New Architecture for Entertainment
The System Is Broken.
We Built a New One.
RAVOK STUDIOS is the first venture studio turning filmmakers into founders—and films into sustainable businesses.
Here's what we realized.
In Every Other
Industry,
This Is Just Called R&D
Tech startups get seed funding to build MVPs.
Hardware companies get capital for prototypes.
Software founders get invested in before revenue.
But in Hollywood? Early-stage development is called "too risky."
The real risk is letting gatekeepers decide what gets made.
“What if we funded creators the way VCs fund founders? What if films were structured like startups—with equity, governance, and long-term thinking?”
-Amanda Aoki, Founder.
That's exactly what we built.
Not a Production Company.
Not an Accelerator.
A Venture Studio.
RAVOK APPLIES PROVEN VENTURE CAPITAL PRINCIPLES TO FILMMAKING. WE PROVIDE SEED CAPITAL, STRUCTURE EACH PROJECT AS AN INDEPENDENT VENTURE, AND GIVE CREATORS REAL EQUITY AND CONTROL.
How It Works:
- Seed capital for development and packaging
- Creator ownership through venture structure
- Strategic support from development to distribution
- Built to scale — turning projects into sustainable IP businesses
Our 2025 slate proves the model works.
Here's what we offer
All Structured for Success.
Our focus is in rebuilding the system. Our inaugural portfolio is fully committed, structured, and in development. Each venture is an independent entity with creator ownership, GTM, legal entity set, initial backing, and strategic partners attached.
Film Ventures
Each film project is launched as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)—a standalone company that we co-found and incorporate with the creative partner. Ravok deploys pre-seed development capital to complete packaging and attract external financing. This creates creator-driven cinema structured for commercial success while maintaining artistic integrity. Our partnership model means the equity stake is determined by the development stage at which the creative co-founder joins.
Production Labels
We build the next generation of IP engines by developing and managing specialized production subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are designed to function as repeatable venture pipelines, continuously spinning up new SPVs. Each label focuses on a specific genre or audience niche, allowing it to tailor development, marketing, and acquisition strategies to a broad, underserved market. This strategy eliminates single-project risk by creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that curates talent and develops franchises, owning the upside of IP creation.
Tech Ventures
Our dedicated Tech Ventures pillar is where we incubate, incorporate, and scale proprietary technology companies. This infrastructure is designed to eliminate traditional media gatekeepers and give creators direct relationships with their audiences. These ventures focus on capturing valuable first-party audience data on engagement and narrative preferences, feeding this information back into the studio’s greenlight process to quantitatively de-risk future ventures and provide measurable returns.
The Future of Media
Won't Be Built by Gatekeepers.
It will be built by creators, partners, and investors who believe ownership matters.
