Seventy7 Ventures is thrilled to announce the addition of two highly accomplished leaders, Ray Mia and Stefan, Schulz to our Strategic Advisory Team.
With their extensive backgrounds in Music, The Arts, and cutting-edge technologies like blockchain and AI, both Ray and Stefan will be pivotal in shaping our ventures within the Orange Economy – one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, encompassing the creative industries, media, and intellectual property.
Ray and Stefan each bring a wealth of experience and a track record of success, having both served as Executive Vice Presidents at Universal Music. Their involvement at the forefront of audio technology and emerging tech makes them invaluable assets to our mission of driving innovation across sectors.
Why Ray joined Seventy7 Ventures: “Given the opportunity to join a team with such multi-sector experience and a network with deep global reach, the question isn’t Why? It’s Why on Earth wouldn’t I?” said Ray.
What excites Ray about his field: Ray’s excitement centres on the innovation in tech stacks and the disruptive forces reshaping industries. “We are living in such a unique time where we face immense challenges in scale, security, growth, and sustainability. Vertical takeoff is imminent! Embracing disruption and deploying innovative tech stacks is a thrill—what an incredible time to be working in this field.”
Ray’s vision for the future: Ray predicts astonishing progress powered by AI, quantum computing, and smarter data centres. “The future will be faster, better, cheaper—overlay that with smarter systems, and we will witness unprecedented advancements across the Orange Economy. What excites me most is the opportunity to empower storytelling across global economies in new, creative ways, allowing voices from emerging markets to reach new audiences. Innovation will be on steroids.”
Why Stefan joined Seventy7 Ventures: “I see a clear gap in the market for strategy, consulting, and investment companies that focus on the Orange Economy,” Stefan explained. “Our team at Seventy7 Ventures is made up of experienced, complementary executives who bring expertise across IP, Data, Finance, and Tech – both in Web2 and Web3. The potential here to drive sustainable change and support startups, scale-ups, and larger organizations is unmatched.”
What excites Stefan most: Stefan is passionate about working with ambitious founders, executives, and investors who want to make the Orange Economy more dynamic, inclusive, and sustainable. “The value lies in the interactions with those teams and knowing that the work we do will lead to long-term success for creators and organizations alike. Every day, every step forward, is exciting.”
Stefan’s predictions for the music and IP industries: Stefan sees intellectual property as a key driver in the global data economy. “As emerging technologies like DeFi and AI unfold, we will see unprecedented economic freedom for individual creators. This will have a more positive impact on smaller creators in difficult regions than on established artists in leading economies. Ultimately, the Orange Economy’s contribution to global GDP will grow significantly, driven by technological empowerment.”
The addition of Ray and Stefan to our advisory team represents a major step forward for Seventy7 Ventures as we continue to focus on pushing the boundaries of the Orange Economy. Their expertise and insights will be instrumental in helping us scale innovative solutions and drive impactful change across industries.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments as we continue to build a future where creativity, technology, and growth intersect to create sustainable value worldwide.
