New financing from GEM Token Fund accelerates development of MoviePass’s new fantasy experience for film fans
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GEM Token Fund ISA Ltd. (“GEM” or the “Fund”) is pleased to announce the completion of its first transaction. The Fund’s $100 million token purchase agreement with MoviePass Inc., a technology company redefining the moviegoing experience, and its partner, C3 Foundation, has been undertaken to accelerate the development of Mogul—the first-ever daily fantasy entertainment platform built for Hollywood.
Mogul, which launched in beta earlier this month, lets fans play the role of a studio head—predicting box office ranking, award outcomes, and sentiment scores in a game that blends Hollywood knowledge with the competitive spirit of fantasy sports. The platform taps into the excitement of real-world entertainment speculation, transforming passive viewership into active participation.
“With Mogul, we’re inviting fans to become players in the entertainment ecosystem,” said Stacy Spikes, Co-Founder and CEO of MoviePass. “Just as fantasy sports changed how people engage with sports, Mogul will redefine how fans engage with film and television. This investment gives us the runway to build something truly game-changing.”
The investment from GEM comes in the form of a flexible capital commitment over twenty-four months that MoviePass can draw upon as needed to scale Mogul. MoviePass will control the timing and the number of drawdowns, with no minimum drawdown obligation. Funds will be used to enhance platform features—including data-driven competitions, digital collectibles, rewards-based gameplay, and community-led challenges.
This transaction is GEM’s inaugural commitment and marks the launch of the Fund. GEM’s sponsor and majority GP shareholder is GEM Group, a $3.4 billion alternative investment group based in Paris, New York, and the Bahamas – with a 30-year track record of 570 transactions across 70 countries.
