Take Back the Mic

TBTM (Take Back the Media) is a blockchain-based media and fintech platform that turns culture into currency by rewarding fans and compensating creators everywhere they engage with content. Founded in 2015 and launched by an Ivy League team of Google and LinkedIn alumni alongside Emmy, Golden Globe, and Oscar-winning executives, TBTM's flagship offering is Take Back the Mic — an award-winning interactive talent docu-series that empowers fans to cast and curate the show using the platform's proprietary technology. The company has developed a play-to-earn social-viewing platform built on its Universal Reward Token (Kola), enabling a new economic model for content consumption. In 2022, AMP Global raised $5.6 million in partnership with MaC Venture Capital to expand the blockchain-based video platform.
