The marketplace for independent film and theatre investment.
PIE connects investors with the productions that need funding. Register your interest before we launch: investors will be first to be invited onto the platform, and productions will be first to be listed.
PIE is not yet authorised by the FCA. Registering your interest is not an offer or a commitment, and no money is taken.
What we do.
PIE is building a marketplace where investors back independent film and theatre, and where productions find the funding to get made. We are opening a list now, so the first people in are the first on the platform.
For investors
Be first to be invited when PIE launches.
What you get
- A first invitation onto the platform when we launch
- A first look at the independent film and theatre productions listed for funding
- A private dashboard to follow the productions you back
What we ask for
- Your name and email
- Roughly how much you might invest, as a guide only
For productions
Be first to be listed when PIE launches.
What you get
- A first place on the platform, ready to open for funding at launch
- A dedicated company for your production, with the revenue-share terms set out before anything goes live
- One place to keep your backers updated on budget and milestones
What we ask for
- Roughly how much funding you would look for at launch
- Whether it is theatre or independent film
- Your contact details, and optionally a few details about the production
Register your interest
Tell us a little about you or your production. It takes a minute or two and commits you to nothing.
We keep you in the loop
We will email you as PIE takes shape, and let you know when launch is close.
Be first at launch
Investors are invited onto the platform first, and registered productions are listed first.
PIE is not yet authorised by the FCA, so we cannot take investment or raise money for any production today. Registering your interest is not an offer, and nothing here is investment advice. Investing in productions can mean losing all of your money.
Be first in at launch.
Register your interest as an investor or as a production. The earlier you register, the earlier you are invited or listed.
Early access, if you qualify.
Some investors can come onto PIE now, ahead of launch. If you are a certified high-net-worth individual or a certified or self-certified sophisticated investor, you can join our early access list. You sign up in the same way, and confirm which category applies to you.
Certified high-net-worth individual
- Income of at least £100,000 in the last financial year
- Or net assets of at least £250,000, excluding your main residence, pension and certain insurance
- Confirmed with a signed statement, valid for 12 months
Certified or self-certified sophisticated investor
- Made more than one investment in an unlisted company in the last two years
- Or worked in private equity or corporate finance in the last two years
- Or been a director of a company with turnover of £1m+ in the last two years
- Or are a member of a network or syndicate of business angels
These are simplified summaries, not the full statutory wording. Early access is only for investors who confirm that one of these applies to them, and the exact statement is confirmed when you sign up. PIE is not yet authorised by the FCA. Investing in productions can mean losing all of your money, and you may not be able to sell your stake.
