Why invest in startups?

Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.

How much can I invest?

Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.

How do I calculate my net worth?

To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.

What are the tax implications of an equity crowdfunding investment?

We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.

Who can invest in a Regulation CF Offering?

Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.

What do I need to know about early-stage investing? Are these investments risky?

There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time. You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.

When will I get my investment back?

The Common Stock (the "Shares") of PlayersTV Digital (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.

Can I sell my shares?

Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions.

Exceptions to limitations on selling shares during the one-year lockup period:

In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, shares can be transferred to:

  1. The company that issued the securities
  2. An accredited investor
  3. A family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships)
What happens if a company does not reach their funding target?

If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.

How can I learn more about a company's offering?

All available disclosure information can be found on the offering pages for our Regulation Crowdfunding offering.

What if I change my mind about investing?

You can cancel your investment at any time, for any reason, until 48 hours prior to a closing occurring. If you’ve already funded your investment and your funds are in escrow, your funds will be promptly refunded to you upon cancellation. To submit a request to cancel your investment please email: info@dealmakersecurities.com

How do I keep up with how the company is doing?

At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on its website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end. If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.

What relationship does the company have with DealMaker Securities?

Once an offering ends, the company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future. DealMaker Securities’ affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.

What is PlayersTV Digital?

PlayersTV Digital (PTV) is a new sports media company built out of a vision to disrupt the conventional hierarchy of the industry. However, despite being a newly formed entity, the expertise exhibited by PlayersTV Digital's founding team makes the company anything but a rookie in the sports media landscape.

Why should I invest?
  1. Superstar Athlete Backing: PlayersTV Digital boasts a unique ownership model supported by over 50 professional athletes, including icons like Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, and Travis Kelce. This unprecedented athlete involvement not only enhances credibility but also drives content creation and audience engagement, positioning the company for rapid growth in the sports media landscape.
  2. Market Opportunity: The global sports sponsorship and advertising market is projected to exceed $90 billion by 2027, with significant growth expected in diverse-owned media. PlayersTV Digital is strategically positioned to capitalize on this expanding market, particularly as traditional advertising dollars shift towards platforms that cater to diverse audiences. This presents a lucrative opportunity for investors looking to enter a high-growth sector.
  3. Major Partnerships: The company already has major distribution and brand partners, proving the credibility of the company and highlighting the growth potential.
  4. Proprietary Advertising Technology: PlayersTV Digital leverages cutting-edge, owned advertising technology designed to maximize profitability and scalability. By owning its ad tech stack, the company can streamline operations, reduce dependency on third-party platforms, and capture more revenue from advertising dollars. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also significantly increases the company's overall value, solidifying its position as a leader in the sports media and advertising space.
How will PlayersTV Digital make money?

PlayersTV Digital generates revenue through a multi-stream media model, primarily leveraging advertising sales and content licensing. With over 200 million monthly available ad impressions that can be monetized at a competitive rate of up to $25 CPM, the company has the potential to achieve monthly revenues exceeding $2.5 million. Additionally, by partnering with brands and advertisers, PlayersTV Digital capitalizes on its unique access to a diverse audience and its athlete-driven content to secure lucrative sponsorships. The extensive library of original programming and athlete lifestyle content further enhances its appeal to advertisers, creating multiple revenue streams and maximizing profitability in the growing sports media landscape.

How do I know people will buy this solution?

The growing demand for authentic and engaging sports content among fans indicates that PlayersTV Digital is well-positioned to succeed. With the global sports sponsorship market projected to exceed $90 billion by 2027, coupled with a significant increase in interest for diverse-owned media, the timing for this venture couldn't be better. The unique model of having over 50 professional athletes as investors and content creators creates a compelling narrative that resonates with fans, ensuring loyalty and engagement. Additionally, the company’s ability to produce over 150 hours of unique programming each year and its strategic distribution partnerships provide a solid foundation for reaching millions of viewers. As sports fandom continues to rise in the digital age, PlayersTV Digital is set to become a central hub for sports culture, making it an attractive investment opportunity poised for growth.

What opportunities are ahead for PlayersTV Digital?

PlayersTV Digital is positioned for significant growth through its innovative approach and strategic partnerships in the rapidly evolving sports media landscape. With a robust foundation built on the support of over 50 professional athletes, the company can consistently produce engaging, high-quality content that resonates with fans. The expanding market for sports sponsorship and advertising, projected to exceed $90 billion by 2027, presents ample opportunities for revenue generation. Additionally, PlayersTV Digital's unique positioning as a minority-owned media company allows it to capture advertising budgets earmarked for diverse platforms, further enhancing its growth potential. With plans for continuous content expansion, a growing distribution network reaching over 300 million homes, and an established digital ecosystem generating over 100 million monthly ad impressions, coupled with a robust technological roadmap focused on innovation in advertising and audience engagement, PlayersTV Digital is primed for long-term success and scalability.

Why hasn't a bigger company done this already?

ESPN and other channels feature athletic content like documentaries, but PlayersTV Digital is the first company built by athletes, giving them unrivaled access to some of the biggest names in sports. As the dynamics of sports media continue to shift, with fans craving more direct and authentic connections to athletes, traditional players like ESPN are proving slow and unresponsive to these changes. This outdated approach creates a ripe opportunity for disruption. PlayersTV Digital is uniquely positioned to capitalize on these shifting market dynamics, offering a fresh, athlete-driven platform that delivers unparalleled insider access, authenticity, and engagement that today’s sports audiences demand.
