Bluestone Equity Partners Invests in VideoVerse, Creators of Magnifi, an Award-Winning, #AI-Powered Video Editing Solution

Our Founder & Managing Partner Bobby Sharma on Bloomberg speaking to the game-changing technology behind VideoVerse and its next generation, fully-automated video editing, curation, and distribution platform. 

Utilizing Artificial Intelligence + Computer Vision + Machine Learning, VideoVerse's flagship product Magnifi performs what otherwise historically requires extensive time, and/or expensive data feeds — in real time and for a fraction of the cost, without sacrificing quality.

Thanks to Business Insider for the feature on Bluestone Equity Partners’ third portfolio company, and first SaaS investment — VideoVerse.

Founded in India, the California-based provider of video editing solutions is fully-powered by the transformative technologies of Artificial Intelligence (#AI) and Machine Learning (#ML). Led by its award-winning flagship product Magnifi, VideoVerse automatically transforms live and full-length video into short form content and highlights — at a fraction of the cost of its nearest competitor, and in real time, without sacrificing quality — empowering hundreds of #Sports, #Media & #Entertainment properties around the world (e.g., leagues & teams, news and entertainment broadcasters, streaming platforms, etc.) to efficiently edit and distribute their most valuable assets in seconds, across all relevant media channels.

We're proud to partner with such an innovative and visionary company, and look forward to helping VideoVerse and Magnifi CEO & Co-Founder Vinayak S. and President & COO Sabya Das continue to revolutionize the curation and monetization of next generation video and media.

During this year’s U.S. Open U.S. Open, the (USTA) United States Tennis Association announced the formation of USTA Ventures (USTAV) — an early-stage investment platform, helping to grow the game of tennis through innovation and technology.

Thrilled to be joining Ryan and the team to drive the company forward in this exciting time!

Business Insider: "Founded in early 2023 by ex-National Basketball Association (NBA) exec Bobby Sharma with an initial fund of $300 million, Bluestone Equity Partners has invested about $30 million in PMY Group, which provides technical design and management for sports venues like SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park and New York's Citi Field; and about $20 million in RWS Global, which does design, casting, and programming to create events for clients like Apple and Holland America Line [cruises]. Sharma's view is that people are placing greater value on physical experiences, but also sharing them digitally with their networks. 'Businesses and rights-holders that recognize and nurture that reality, and provide, serve, host, or enhance such social experiences within it, will win,' he said."  #privateequity #sports #media #entertainment

It’s an honor to be elected to the Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey Board of Directors. Humbled by the opportunity to serve such a widely respected, and genuinely impactful, non-profit. Looking forward to helping further its important mission, supporting local communities through important societal values such as sustainability, compassion, and inclusive growth. Congratulations to the other new Board Members: Stephanie Chan, Atul Dalmia, Nick Kaplan, Shilla Kim-Parker, and (one of my all-time favorite designers) Todd Snyder.

We were delighted to be a part of the recent Alliance of European Hockey Clubs E.H.C.  event in Tampere, immersing ourselves within the hockey community! This experience provided an excellent platform for exposure and connections with clubs, players, and industry professionals all dedicated to advancing and promoting the game of hockey. 🏒 

It was great to hear from Bobby Sharma, the Founder and Managing Partner of Bluestone Equity Partners, as he shared an encouraging message about the growing appeal of sports properties for investors and reminded us all that, "In this industry, a rising tide lifts all boats."

We look forward to nurturing and strengthening these relationships as we continue to drive innovation through our design and data solutions offerings. Our focus is on positively contributing to the technology landscape for new arenas and enhancing existing ones. 

We're also eager to collaborate with others who share our passion for leveraging player data to gain valuable business insights including talent identification and high-performance management.

A big shoutout to Szymon Szemberg and Caroline Jonsson, MBA for organising such a remarkable event! 🌟
