PROGRAM OVERVIEW

“Bringing Stories To Life”

  • IWP is an Agentic Financing Platform for the creator economy as well as loan service partner to state and federal government incentives nationwide.

    We structure and provide capital for film and television projects while coordinating the partners needed to bring them to market. Our work is designed to drive job creation, support businesses, and contribute to broader economic growth.

  • IWP finances entertainment projects through a structured, contract-backed model designed to reduce risk and increase execution certainty.

    We provide capital to bring stories to life—while simultaneously aligning the key components required for success: funding, risk mitigation, and execution.

    At a broader level, we aim to close the gap between capital and creators—unlocking not just stories, but businesses, jobs, and sustainable economic growth.

  • IWP’s model builds on precedent transactions derived from our Founder’s firsthand borrower experience and our partners’ engagement with state-supported credit frameworks—demonstrating structural feasibility while informing our underwriting safeguards.

    Our financing is built on a simple principle: fund against what is already contracted.

    • Capital is structured as senior secured loans, not equity

    • Each project is underwritten against verified repayment sources

    • Repayment sources may include:

      • Distribution minimum guarantees

      • Presales (foreign & domestic)

      • Government incentives

      • Brand partnerships and sponsorships

      • Other contracted revenue streams

    This approach shifts financing away from speculation and toward predictable, contract-based outcomes.

    We measure our success by the jobs we spark, the businesses we empower, and the economic ripple effect we leave behind.

    Funding Requirements:

    Repayment Sources (minimum 130% Debt Service Coverage)

    • Verified project revenue streams must cover at least 130% of the total debt service

    • Examples include tax credits, distribution agreements, presales, product placement, and other contracted revenues 

    Credit Enhancements (50%–100% coverage)

    • Mandatory safeguards to protect the production and repayment structure

    • Typically includes completion bonds, insurance policies, and other risk mitigation tools

  • Every project is structured with multiple layers of protection designed to safeguard capital and ensure delivery.

    • Contractual Coverage: Projects are supported by repayment sources that exceed the total financing amount

    • Production Protection: Safeguards are put in place to ensure projects are completed and delivered

    • Insurance & Security Structures: Additional protections reinforce repayment certainty

    Together, these layers create a disciplined framework focused on capital preservation and reliability.

  • Our financing model is powered by the IWP Studio Network—a curated ecosystem of industry participants who support every stage of a project.

    • Capital Catalysts: partners providing funds and backstops

    • Risk Anchors: partners contributing contracted revenue and risk mitigation

    • Creative Engines: partners who execute production and marketing

    This network ensures that projects are not just financed, but strategically assembled with aligned stakeholders from day one. In doing so, it activates projects in a way that generates jobs, supports businesses, and fuels local economies.

  • IWP is building a proprietary platform that serves as the central hub where the Studio Network connects—bringing together capital, risk, and creative partners within a unified environment.

    • Curated Deal Rooms: Every project lives in a centralized, structured environment with all key materials, participants, and deal components in one place

    • AI-Powered Matching: Intelligent systems connect projects with relevant capital, risk, and creative partners based on real needs and gaps

    • Vetted Opportunities: Participants are surfaced projects that have been reviewed and structured—reducing noise and increasing quality

    • Deal-Ready Network Partners: All participants undergo upfront due diligence upon joining, ensuring they are vetted and ready to be attached quickly when opportunities arise

    • End-to-End Coordination: From project intake through financing and execution, the platform aligns all parties within a single workflow

    The result is a more efficient, transparent system where the right participants are connected to the right opportunities—faster and with greater confidence. It also helps capital flow more efficiently into projects that create real economic impact.

  • Creators are not just artists—they are underrepresented small business owners operating within a rapidly growing creator economy exceeding $250 billion. At the same time, the broader media and entertainment industry drives over $3 trillion globally. Together, this represents a largely untapped engine of economic growth.

    By combining structured financing with a coordinated Studio Network and purpose-built platform, IWP creates:

    • A more predictable financing model

    • Stronger alignment across all participants

    • Greater efficiency from development through distribution

    • A clearer path from concept to audience

    • Meaningful job creation and retention across the production lifecycle

    • Expanded economic activity through the businesses and industries each project supports

    At scale, this approach drives measurable economic growth—aligning capital deployment with real-world impact across jobs, businesses, and local economies.
