Gary Lineker’s Goalhanger Unveils New Ventures Arm – Exciting Expansion Revealed!

Gary Lineker’s company, Goalhanger, has recently established a new investment division known as Goalhanger Ventures.

The inaugural venture of Goalhanger Ventures involves an investment in Charlie Tymon’s Invisible Media, the operator of the digital media platform and YouTube channel named Invisible Hand. Additionally, they have formed a strategic alliance with Backyard Cricket, a brand dedicated to sports content creation.

Invisible Media describes its video content as an analysis of the dynamics that define our contemporary world, including financial systems and global power structures, all presented in a clear, visually engaging, and accessible format. They are also in the process of introducing new niche content series like The Invisible Game, which reveals the hidden economic aspects of everyday life and business choices.

Goalhanger has committed to an undisclosed amount of equity investment in Invisible Media. Additionally, they will provide Backyard Cricket with financial support and strategic guidance to aid their expansion in various areas such as video production, extended video projects, business partnerships, sponsorships, and merchandising. Both parties will benefit from the financial gains of these endeavors.

Jack Davenport, co-founder of Goalhanger, commented, “Goalhanger Ventures is focused on providing exceptional creator-led businesses with the necessary resources to expand while maintaining their unique qualities. Invisible Media and Backyard Cricket, although different in their content and approach, both share a distinct editorial vision, audience trust, and positive growth trajectory. Our objective is to assist them in scaling their operations thoughtfully in both a creative and commercial manner, while preserving the independence and quality their audiences value.”

Goalhanger is renowned for producing the popular Rest is… series of podcasts, covering diverse topics such as history, politics, and football. They are also preparing to debut their first daily program on Netflix featuring Lineker’s Rest is Football show during the World Cup.

This announcement follows a recent development where The Chernin Group (TCG) acquired a minority stake in Goalhanger and secured a position on its board.
