Globalive Media

What Globalive Media does

Globalive Media Inc. is a privately held Canadian multimedia content production company that creates original programming focused on business, innovation, and technology. The company produces content across multiple formats including internationally distributed television programs (Beyond Innovation), podcasts and radio shows (The Feed on SiriusXM, 396 episodes), and prior properties (App Central). Its flagship content platform, Beyond Innovation, is designed to connect founders and investors in the global startup ecosystem by showcasing emerging technologies and the entrepreneurs behind them.

The company is co-founded by Michael Bancroft, a media executive and journalist with prior roles at Bloomberg TV, CBS, CNBC, ABC, BNN, and Network Ten, and Anthony Lacavera, a venture capitalist and entrepreneur who founded WIND Mobile (acquired by Shaw Communications for USD $1.3 Billion in March 2016) and leads the Globalive family office, which has raised over USD $1.5 Billion in capital and invested in over 200 companies. Globalive Media's core customer segments are entrepreneurs and startups seeking visibility and investor connections, investors and venture capitalists seeking deal flow and emerging technology signals, and business and technology professionals interested in innovation trends.

Revenue is generated through sponsored content, content licensing, and partnerships with technology companies and organizations — including core partners KPMG Private Enterprise and IFA Berlin — under bespoke, quote-based B2B arrangements. The company distributes content globally across television networks, podcast platforms, digital streaming, and live events (Beyond Innovation Events), and maintains a presence across LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. No public pricing, employee headcount, revenue figure, or funding rounds are disclosed in available data.
