Digital
media

Very few industries have been as completely 'eaten' by the Internet as legacy media.

Content was unbundled from distribution, distribution was unbundled from infrastructure, and audiences were unbundled from any single channel. Streaming overtook broadcast, creators overtook studios for share of attention, and advertising rebuilt itself around programmatic and performance. What remains is an industry permanently shaped by software economics - and now entering another inflection as generative AI changes how content is produced, personalized and monetized.

Flow advises founders and investors across all digital media themes - streaming, gaming, creator platforms, online publishing, and more.

Covering every digital media niche

From gaming to SportsTech, we understand the modern media stack.

Our expertise spans console and mobile gaming, media SaaS, music, sports and events.

What we do for digital media founders

We've supported founders across gaming, streaming software and creator platforms.

Fractional CFO

Digital platform economics are pretty nuanced - subscription cohorts, in-app monetisation, ARPU, retention curves, content and creator payouts, and so much more. As fractional CFOs, we help founders get the unit economics right and tie the numbers back to decisions on product, pricing and growth spend.

VC fundraising

A gaming studio, a media SaaS platform and a creator-tools startup all raise from completely different pools of capital - investor appetite for hit-driven revenue, IP ownership and content risk shifts dramatically across the stack. We match the round to the right type of investor and shape the story it gets sold on.

M&A

Gaming consolidation and broadcaster shake-ups have produced some of the most active deal flow in tech over the last decade. We've been in the middle of it, and our team advised on category-defining transactions globally.

What our clients say

Gin Gidre company logo
Flow supported us from day 1, throughout the whole process, taking us from a fundraise to M&A. They understood what made Rebellion valuable and found an ideal buyer for us. Their advice was critical in getting the sale to the finish line and navigating complex closing environment. They made such a complicated process feel manageable. These are the M&A people you want in your corner.

Bringing on guys from Flow as our fractional CFO was a game-changer for A&Y. We had to clean up our reporting and build a financial model for the upcoming fundraise, and Nikhil & Olek delivered exactly what we needed. They became our trusted advisors who genuinely cared and later helped us during the fundraising process.

Very happy with Flow Partners, as they really think big picture and help beyond financial modelling. Organized our finance modelling in an efficient way, and then run our fundraising process, making it easy for us. They opened lots of doors to VCs and strategic investors that we wouldn't have accessed otherwise. Great guys, I recommend them highly!
