About the Company
Buzznet operates a network of websites focused on pop culture. Buzznet distinguishes itself from traditional media sites and social networks that are focused on profile pages and communication tools by enabling Web users to program dynamic multimedia communities around the music and pop culture topics they are most passionate about. More authentic, content rich and frequently updated than a website, and more interactive than a blog, Buzznet's integrated media and community platform allows its users to network with leading bands, trendsetters and their peers through self-created content, videos, photos and journals.
Company Heritage
Buzznet was a labor of love for its co-founders, Anthony Batt and Marc Brown, for several years before Anthem first invested in the Series A. Anthony and Marc had a passion for music and pop culture, and they created a community of like-minded users around a robust platform for user generated content. Anthem invested to take this initial momentum to the next level, and the labor of love became a full-time business.
