Seventy7 Ventures has partnered with Zig Zag to launch a new Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) focused on financing Film, TV, and Sports Entertainment properties. The vehicle will build and fund a curated slate of premium projects, with Zig Zag introducing all titles into the SPV.
The partners are targeting a £20M fund to support a pipeline of capital-intensive productions across scripted, unscripted, and sports-led entertainment formats. Each project greenlit by the SPV will be structured through its own Subsidiary SPV, enabling efficient capital deployment and access to applicable tax incentives.
Seventy7 Ventures will lead all capital-raising activity, with Zig Zag providing production and operational services at industry-standard terms. The model is designed to give investors a clear, structured entry point into entertainment assets while maintaining rigorous oversight across development, financing, and delivery.
Under the framework, projects brought into the SPV carry a 6-month exclusive financing option, ensuring a dynamic and continuously refreshed slate. Should a project not secure financing within the option window, Zig Zag may extend the term or reassign the project and introduce replacements.
Ketan Makwana, Executive Chairman of Seventy7 Ventures, said:
“This SPV gives investors a transparent, disciplined route into content financing, backed by a strong slate and a proven production partner. We’re building a platform engineered for commercial outcomes.”
Danny Fenton, CEO of Zig Zag Productions, added:
“ We at Zig Zag are excited to work with Seventy7 and its partners in exploring new ways of programme financing in an ever-evolving market place, we think the model Ketan offers has great viability and rewards for the investment community and producers alike.“
