ABOUT LEGION M
Legion M partners with top Hollywood creators - from independent filmmakers to big Hollywood studios - to produce movies, TV, and digital content.
We're also the first company in history designed to be owned by fans. We're using brand-new equity crowdfunding laws that allow people to invest as little as $100 to own a piece of the company.
Our long-term goal is to unite 1 million fans as shareholders of our company. If we achieve that, we'll have hundreds of millions of dollars to develop projects, with a million people standing behind them when they release. We believe that could make us one of the most influential companies in Hollywood.
Legion M launched in 2016 with one of the most successful crowdfunding rounds in JOBS Act history. Since then, we have raised over $10M from a fast growing and energized community of more than 25K investors and more than 100,000 members. We’re a proven team on a mission with a lot of momentum and a slate of projects featuring Stan Lee, Anne Hathaway, Nicolas Cage, Jason Sudeikis, Andrea Riseborough, Kevin Smith and much more!
