The seed round serves the purpose to further a multi-launch agreement including global and first of its kind space marketing rights. To kick events off TDGA has secured a seat on the next private mission in 2024 which will be produced by D3-TV, a newly launched, full-service production company that develops and produces domestic and international programming. Prior to forming D3, Co-Founders Mark Dziak and Doug Vargas have created and executed programming for a host of global TV and streaming networks, with shows including Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race.
Space Hero will conduct Space missions with participants being able to apply through global competitions. First missions will be orbiting Earth for 5 days, subsequent ones will fly to the ISS, to the Moon and be part of the first mission to Mars.
“This is an exciting next step in our journey to create the largest global community around Space Entertainment. We have worked closely with the NMH & D3-TV executive teams for some time now and this investment is a true testament to the solid foundation all parties have built. NMH’s tech & creator economy capabilities combined with our vision and extensive network in the space industry is a winning combination. D3’s experience in delivering award winning content to global audiences will create the quality TDGA is looking for”, Founding Partners and Co-CEOs Deborah Sass and Thomas Reemer said in a statement.
“The Space Hero team has built a global community and operates in over 70 countries; a truly global outreach is at the heart of it. The Space Industry is their stakeholder – which gives this a solid foundation to succeed for the first time ever. Making this a relatable journey to everyone, seen by millions of people around the World, is the passion that unites us, and our global casting experience will help to build a unique show,” said Co-Founders of D3-TV, Mark Dziak & Doug Vargas.
Commenting on the development, founders of NewMedia Holding, Shabir Momin & Gurpreet Singh said, “With a long career in technology and innovation, leading the creator economy first in Asia, now in the rest of the World, we are happy to be able to support a truly disruptive project like Space Hero.”
