Iconic Arts, a cutting-edge transmedia entertainment studio, has made waves in the industry by raising $3.1 million in funding at a $20 million pre-seed valuation. Founded by a team of visionaries including CEO Steven Haddadian, Director & Executive Producer Alec Roth, Chief Creative Officer Matthew Medney, Chief Operations Officer Mo Yazdani, and Chief Strategy Officer Jack Sheehan, Iconic Arts is redefining storytelling across gaming, television, film, merchandising, and live experiences.
Backed by industry giants like Eric Roth, Will.i.am, Chris Heatherly, Mark Caplan, and Motoki Tani, Iconic Arts is on a mission to expand its operations and business reach. With a focus on developing original IP using a unique workflow that combines talented creators with cutting-edge technologies, the studio is setting a new standard for entertainment production.
Utilizing proprietary AI-powered tools to lower development costs and derisk negative audience sentiment, Iconic Arts is paving the way for a more efficient and innovative approach to content creation. The team, which also includes Chief Technology Officer Omar Abdelwahed and Chief Gaming Officer Rob Carroll, is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of storytelling and immersive experiences.
With offices in Los Angeles and Tokyo, Iconic Arts is poised to become a global entertainment powerhouse. By partnering with some of the largest IP companies and brands in Japan through a joint venture created by lead investor Motoki Tani, the studio is solidifying its position as a key player in the industry.
Founder and CEO Steven Haddadian sums up the studio's mission perfectly: "We are applying a Silicon Valley approach to the hit-driven models of Hollywood and gaming studios, cutting costs and risks in developing original IP, with timeless storytelling at the heart of our business." Iconic Arts is not just a studio – it's a revolution in the entertainment industry.
