The acquisition represents a full-circle moment for Slipstream's founders Dan Demole and Jesse Korwin, who previously led Jingle Punks before establishing Slipstream in 2021. The deal was facilitated by Pollen Street Capital, with Moelis & Company serving as the financial advisor.
Key aspects of the acquisition:
- Jingle Punks: Leading production music agency
- 5 Alarm Music: North America's largest independent production music library
- Cavendish Music: UK's oldest and largest independent production music publisher
The platform now serves content creators across all scales, from social media creators to global enterprises, offering creator-safe music for digital content, film, TV, and advertising. Anthem Entertainment will maintain involvement through an investment in Slipstream as part of the transaction.
"Our focus is to blend creativity with technology, making it easier for TV networks and producers, brands, filmmakers, and creators of all sizes to find and license the perfect soundtrack for their content," says Jesse Korwin, Chief Revenue Officer of Slipstream.
