Founding Story
Ali Aksu's journey into the convergence of entertainment and business began with the establishment of Auteur Academy, an online film platform aimed at educating producers on industry navigation. Following successful exits with industry titans Netflix and Universal Studios, Aksu discerned a significant issue plaguing Hollywood: the opaque and risky nature of entertainment investing, often resulting in investor losses.
In response to this systemic problem, Aksu founded Untold, incubating its inception at MIT School of Management in 2018. Today, Untold boasts headquarters in Universal City and New York, driven by a core mission to democratize investment opportunities in entertainment. As the only FINRA licensed funding platform enabling investment in pre-vetted content such as movies, TV shows, and streaming projects, Untold upholds SEC regulations and invites both accredited and non-accredited investors to participate, ensuring inclusivity.
Through rigorous due diligence, Untold prioritizes projects with established track records, fostering transparency and accountability in the industry. With a steadfast commitment to revolutionizing entertainment financing, Untold is dedicated to nurturing a more sustainable and inclusive future for all investors.
