Media Capital Readiness Bootcamp.
CEE’s first investment-readiness program focused on media-for-equity — helping B2C startups trade advertising for growth, not cash.
Media Capital Value Proposition
Acquire customers at a national scale without burning cash. Become media—capital ready: structure your MFE deal, plan your campaign, and scale with confidence.
Meet press—ready, brand—visible startups with validated funnels and cleaner unit economics. Media capital extends runway and de—risk follow—on rounds.
Turn unsold inventory into upside. Access a curated pipeline of vetted, scale—ready brands and execute efficient, KPI—driven campaigns.
Exhchange Media for Equity.
With the help of a Media—for—Equity business model, a startup or scale—up could be taken out of the shadows. The chances are that it can enjoy fast and secure growth:
A partnership with a media conglomerate will facilitate the newly founded company’s way to popular TV, radio, and Internet channels that are followed by huge audiences.
Directly proportional to the startup growth is the value of its equity, so the deal benefits the media partner involved.
Why Traditional Funding is Not Enough?
In volatile markets, cash preservation is paramount. Founders face the dilemma of achieving mass—market brand awareness—a prerequisite for B2C scaling—while battling high Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC) and risking their financial runway.
MFE is the proven mechanism that trades equity for guaranteed, high—impact media exposure. It is the definitive bridge round that proves unit economics and market fit before you approach your next cash round.
The Mediamorphosis Advantage
Superior Investment Value
The average MFE investment for early—stage European startups frequently surpasses the average injection from traditional VC funding.
Cash Runway Extenstion
Preserve your operational capital for R&D, product development, and hiring—trade idle equity—not cash—for mass exposure.
Proven, Transformative Scale
Media—for—Equity is critical for B2C success. Companies like Zalando reported a staggering 29,900 % revenue increase following their media capital deals.
