Grants

The Raw Ventures Grant Program is a funding initiative that awards a grant to selected projects supporting creators, distributors, and technology innovators shaping the future of vertical storytelling.

The way we consume stories keeps evolving – from newspapers to television, from cinema screens to smartphones. Today, vertical video is transforming how audiences experience narratives, blending creativity, technology and culture  in exciting new ways.

At Raw Ventures, we see vertical video not only as a trend but as a new language of digital storytelling – one that brings cinematic quality to the formats people engage with every day. From short dramas and experimental formats to innovative production tools, vertical storytelling opens space for new ideas and perspectives.

Through this initiative, Raw Ventures aims to support talented professionals who are pushing the boundaries of vertical storytelling. Selected teams will receive a €10,000 grant to advance their work, with the potential for future investment opportunities of up to €3M for those showing exceptional vision and promise.
