5 Entertainment & Media Startup Ideas for Founders Who Think Outside the Frame

Fresh concepts for disrupting the way we create, consume, and connect through media.

“The future of entertainment is not just consumption, it's co-creation.”
— Kevin Kelly —

The entertainment and media industry isn’t what it used to be. Audiences aren’t just watching, they’re participating, remixing, monetising, and escaping into new realities.

For founders, that means the opportunity is ripe to reimagine how we tell stories, connect with creators, and even own content.

In this edition, we explore five startup ideas in the entertainment and media space. For each idea, we break down what the startup does, the target market, market size, competitive landscape, unique value proposition, revenue model, potential challenges, and growth strategy.

Whether you're a seasoned startup founder or just tuning in, these ideas aim to challenge assumptions and stretch your imagination.
