Jon Gosier Is Reshaping Media Finance Through FilmHedge and Southbox

Serial entrepreneur Jon Gosier is redefining how Hollywood secures funding through FilmHedge, a fintech-powered private credit platform he launched in 2020. The company finances high-budget film and television productions – those with budgets starting at US$25 million – by offering institutional-grade lending solutions tailored for the entertainment industry.

Gosier was inspired to create FilmHedge after identifying a major gap in the market: while media assets can be lucrative and risk-managed, most institutional investors lacked the financial tools or understanding to navigate the space effectively. FilmHedge aims to bridge that divide by bringing fintech innovation and private capital to a traditionally opaque sector.

Before entering the entertainment industry, Gosier spent a decade in venture capital and technology, developing a reputation for building innovative, data-driven companies. He is also the founder of Southbox Capital, a private investment firm and family office, and Southbox Entertainment, a media finance company closely aligned with FilmHedge.

Gosier’s entrepreneurial track record includes co-founding Audigent, a leading data activation and identity platform, in 2016. His leadership and impact have not gone unnoticed – TIME Magazine named him one of “The New Faces of Black Leadership”” in 2015.

With a growing portfolio and an eye toward transforming film finance, Gosier continues to stand at the intersection of technology, investment, and media.
