Meliora Ventures
Strategic product development and media-for-equity investment for TMT and creative companies, focused on unlocking growth in the AI age.
Meliora operates as a strategic investment and advisory firm focused on the Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) sectors. The company's business model centers on accelerating growth for other organizations through a combination of direct investment and strategic product development services.
Its primary clients are startups and established companies within the TMT and creative industries seeking to scale. Meliora employs a "media for equity" investment model, as demonstrated with its work for Airtasker, where it provides media assets in exchange for an equity stake. This approach allows portfolio companies to achieve significant market exposure while preserving cash.
In addition to capital, the firm provides hands-on strategic guidance, drawing on its experience to help clients with product development and navigating industry complexities, as seen in its early involvement with Shazam. Meliora also invests in and supports creators and content producers, indicating a focus on the cultural and creative aspects of the media landscape.
