  • Thanks to Jon Lafayette and TheWrap's The Ledger for exploring how Comcast Ventures partners with startups, and how that work fits into Comcast's broader strategic engagement with the founder ecosystem. For 25+ years, Comcast Ventures has invested in companies shaping the future of technology across AI, connectivity, health tech, the future of work, energy tech, and sports tech. As Managing Partner Allison Goldberg puts it: "Our core approach is investing in strategically relevant companies that generate strong financial returns. We evaluate investment opportunities by looking at the team, product, market, and traction — while also keeping in mind strategic alignment to the broader business, particularly in areas like AI, enterprise transformation, and connectivity." Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs complements that strategy by creating earlier, hands-on engagement. It's a structured way for startups to explore pilots and commercial partnerships across Comcast, NBCUniversal, and Sky business units. Together, the two programs give founders a path to capital, customers, and the types of enterprise relationships that are hard to build any other way. 🔗 Sign up for The Ledger below!

  • Creatify AI, a Comcast Ventures portfolio company, has launched Creatify Agent, a product that handles the full loop of video ad creation. Take a look below!

    Today we’re announcing a major breakthrough in AI video generation: Creatify Agent, the world’s first viral ad orchestrator. Today, every ad maker works the same way. You type in a prompt, one model generates an AI video. The ad looks like AI slop. Creatify Agent makes ads without AI slop because it does not start by generating. It starts by understanding what makes an ad work and the existing content you already have. Drop in a product URL, and Creatify Agent researches the highest-performing ads across TikTok and Instagram in your category, identifies the creative formats already working, and uses them as references for your brand. From there, it writes a direct response script built to sell, then scans your existing content library to find real UGC, product shots, b-roll, and brand assets it can use before generating anything with AI. Once the agent understands the product, the category, and the assets available, it storyboards the ad and uses AI generation to fill the gaps.  Even then, Creatify does not rely on one model behind a chat box. It orchestrates across multiple specialized agents and generation models, with different agents handling research, copywriting, storyboarding, asset selection, scene generation, editing, and quality control. That quality-control layer is what makes the system so different. Creatify runs a vision-capable critic inside the production loop, so every ad is checked against your brand before delivery: colors, product details, prices, labels, on-screen text, CTAs, and overall shippability. And if something is wrong, Creatify does not recreate the entire ad. It finds the broken section, fixes that specific piece, drops it back into the editor, and rebuilds the ad locally. That is the difference between an AI ad maker and an AI ad orchestrator. AI ad makers generate. Creatify Agent orchestrates sub agents just like a real human would. Every other company promises to make a “more realistic AI video.” Consumers do not trust fake avatars… they feel like this is AI slop. They trust real people, real products, and creative that feels native to the platforms they are watching on. This is how we built Creatify Agent. My co-founders Yinan (Steven) Na, Chaz Z., and I spent 10 years at Meta and Snapchat building the ad systems the entire industry runs on. We built that knowledge directly into Creatify Agent. And so far, Creatify Agent is working. We’re also releasing VideoAdAgent Bench soon, the first public benchmark for AI ad-video production. On VideoAdAgent Bench, Creatify Agent achieved the lowest hallucination score in the field and outperformed general-purpose video agents and frontier text-to-video models on shippability metrics.

Now in its fourth year and making its East Coast debut, the Summit is the only full-day gathering for women in corporate venture, convening the investors and operators who've built and run these programs. If you’re a CVC or a founder interested in joining, request a spot in the comments!

  • If you’ve ever spent 30 minutes on hold trying to figure out what your insurance covers, you’ll understand why health tech continues to be an interesting investment area. Risk costs, complex benefits, and heightened consumer expectations are creating a massive demand for technology that simplifies how people find, choose, and pay for care. That was the through line of our dinner last night, cohosted with Morgan Health and CVS Health Ventures. We discussed the technologies, platforms, and investment opportunities defining the next chapter of care. Thank you to our cohosts and to everyone who joined!

    Over the past few months I've been asked countless times what counts as SportsTech for us at Comcast Ventures. The answer is that we are spending time on three kinds of companies. 📽️ The first group is building around how sports is produced and consumed. This is the layer that poeers the broadcast, streaming, and the rights economy. Cloud production, automation, sponsorship infrastructure, fan data. 🏅 The second group is focused on how individuals play, train, register, organize, and participate in sport. That covers elite athletes and the kid signing up for their first soccer season. Performance tech, youth sports platforms, training and coaching tools, the commerce and operations layer and fitness and wellness. 🏟️ The third group is working on how individuals and venues handle attending and watching live sport in person. Venue operations, ticketing and access, in-venue commerce, and the software that turns a stadium from a single-use asset into something closer to a real estate platform. I have been investing in this category across MLB, at City Football Group, and now at Comcast Ventures. The thing that keeps me interested is that the operating infrastructure underneath sports has historically lagged the scale of the business on top of it. On June 4 during NY Tech Week, Comcast Ventures is co-hosting a sports tech pitch competition with IBM. Founders building in any of these areas should apply through the IBM portal linked in the comments andd anyone looking to attend the event should use the partiful link below. Do you have a suggestion of someone great to compete or attend? Tag them below. CC: IBM Comcast Ventures Ellen Truitt Conor Cook Paul Pettas
