KEY QUOTES:
“We are excited to partner with PSG at this important time in Uscreen’s growth. Their track record of supporting impactful software companies will help us advance our product, enhance creator tools, and expand the impact we can make. Together, we want to help even more video creators achieve financial success and deepen connections with their audiences for the long-term.”
- PJ Taei, Founder and CEO of Uscreen
“We believe that Uscreen’s platform was uniquely built on the belief that creators deserve the power that comes with directly owning their brand and the distribution of their content. The need for creators to be in the driver’s seat of their own business has been underscored by the unpredictable reliability of third-party platforms, as evidenced in recent weeks; Uscreen solves this. We’re excited to provide the capital and resources to support Uscreen during its next phase of growth.”
