Media Capital - Where Consumer Investing Meets Media Innovation | Consumer Brands | Fundraising

Venture capital, done differently with Manuel Lopo de Carvalho


Listen Later

DMG Ventures is not your typical consumer VC, nor a traditional “media for equity” fund. Backed by Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT), dmg ventures invests typically 50% cash / 50% media-for-equity (with more flexibility for follow-ons). Basically making that cash investment work harder 💪🏻

Together with Manuel, the CEO of dmg ventures, we touched on:


📍 the story behind dmg ventures 
📍 how he built the fund inside Daily Mail, 
📍 their investment thesis, and 
📍 their approach to structuring investment deals (balancing 💰 and 🗞️)

With over fifteen years of experience across investing, operational management, and the wider Daily Mail group, Manuel launched dmg ventures in 2017. Since then, he has deployed over £200m and overseen exits worth in excess of £1.6bn. Before launching dmg ventures, Manuel was Strategy Director at DMGT, having also worked previously at McKinsey and Goldman Sachs.
