Advancit Capital is co-founded and led by Shari Redstone, the media heir who controls Paramount Global, giving the fund direct lineage to one of the most powerful U.S. media families and access to legacy media assets like Viacom/CBS and National Amusements. The fund acts as a strategic bridge between Hollywood and emerging creator platforms, with partners who have actually run global media businesses at companies like AOL and News Corp, allowing portfolio companies to access C-suite decision-makers at major media, telecom, and tech companies rather than just capital.
