The real problem in streaming isn’t delivery. It’s economics. The entire traditional media value chain is under stress, from crumbling monetization models to disconnected rights systems and legacy infrastructure that no longer fits the way content is made or consumed. In this session, Hallstone Ventures founder Seth Hallen looks at where the cracks are showing and what it will take to rebuild. The focus is not just on what’s broken, but on where new models are emerging. Seth leads a conversation on what comes after the current system, and offers a strategic look at where the media stack gets rebuilt, and by whom.
Speakers:
Seth Hallen, Founder | Managing Partner, Hallstone Ventures
Ben Relles, Content Strategy, Office of Reid Hoffman
