Jellysmack&#8217;s roster includes creators like MrBeast, How Ridiculous, JianHao Tan, Food Kingdom, Junya and PewDiePie. The Jellysmack investment will be used to help leading digital content creators in AsiaPac grow their businesses, including staffing, building new studio space, launching products and scaling up production values.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartnering with WebTVAsia to deploy capital to APAC creators is a unique opportunity,&#8221; said Ezechiel Ritchie, Jellysmack\u2019s general manager for the Asia Pacific. &#8220;They are a key partner that understands the pulse of Asia and can foster creators\u2019 growth via our creator financing program. This initiative is going to have a huge impact on content creators in the region, enabling them to scale up through a variety of new financial technology solutions personalized to their unique needs, and I can\u2019t wait to see the results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWebTVAsia was one of the first to invest into the creator economy of Asia,&#8221; said Fred Chong, WebTVAsia&#8217;s founder and group CEO. &#8220;In the past three-year pandemic-hit period alone, we have generated over $100 million in direct income for creators. Our long-term relationship is built on 3 \u2018F\u2019 values that creators desire most: fame, fortune and freedom (to create). As a creator myself, I see this partnership with Jellysmack as a game-changer that will open up new possibilities for creators to bridge the Web 2.0 and 3.0 worlds. The next 6 to 12 months will see us launching exciting new creator tools and solutions, including content NFTs, digital wallet, virtual identity for metaverse, fan community and Web 2.5 monetization models.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deal with WebTVAsia follows Jellysmack\u2019s nine-figure Series C investment from SoftBank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jellysmack is partnering with Asian creator economy venture WebTVAsia to invest $30 million in content creators across the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":6497,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1647,1074],"class_list":["post-6496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-jellysmack","tag-webtvasia"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jellysmack, WebTVAsia Set $30 Million Investment in Content Creators - TVASIA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/jellysmack-webtvasia-set-30-million-investment-in-content-creators\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jellysmack, WebTVAsia Set $30 Million Investment in Content Creators - TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Jellysmack is partnering with Asian creator economy venture WebTVAsia to invest $30 million in content creators across the region.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/jellysmack-webtvasia-set-30-million-investment-in-content-creators\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-10-25T13:42:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/07\/webtvasia-1022.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/jellysmack-webtvasia-set-30-million-investment-in-content-creators\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/jellysmack-webtvasia-set-30-million-investment-in-content-creators\/\",\"name\":\"Jellysmack, WebTVAsia Set $30 Million Investment in Content Creators - TVASIA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-10-25T13:42:40+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-10-25T13:42:40+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/jellysmack-webtvasia-set-30-million-investment-in-content-creators\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/jellysmack-webtvasia-set-30-million-investment-in-content-creators\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/jellysmack-webtvasia-set-30-million-investment-in-content-creators\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Jellysmack, WebTVAsia Set $30 Million Investment in Content Creators\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\",\"name\":\"TVASIA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
