SEIS Investment Opportunity

What we're building

A Long-Term Creative Studio

01

Original IP Development

Creator-owned illustrated properties, designed from the ground up for print, licensing, and adaptation. We keep the rights.

02

Direct-to-Audience Publishing

Kickstarter-validated releases, community channels, and direct sales. We prove demand before we scale, and we don't depend on publishers.

03

Serialised Storyworld

A 22-part narrative architecture built for repeat releases, growing catalogue value, and long-term expansion into merchandise, games, and screen.

Current Project

The Story of Hoo

The Story of Hoo — concept artwork

A premium illustrated graphic novel series blending storybook, graphic novel, and art-object sensibilities. The first title from The Omnificium Studio.

22-episode graphic novel cycle, structured around the Major Arcana
Books 1–3 currently in active development
Script underway, illustrator contracted, print specs secured
Designed for premium print and collector editions
Full IP ownership retained by the company

Creative Lineage

Positioned alongside properties like The Little Prince, Tintin, and Adventure Time. Stories with symbolic depth, distinctive art, and audience loyalty that compounds over decades.

The target audience spans readers and collectors aged 9–99, Kickstarter backers of illustrated campaigns, and parents seeking books with substance. Premium illustrated projects on Kickstarter routinely raise £50k–£100k+.

The Raise

SEIS Seed Round

£30,000 raised £200,000
Minimum target
£100,000
Full raise
£200,000 for 25%

From a core group of founder investors.

This round establishes the studio's first IP, validates its direct-to-audience model, and builds a proven foundation for a larger follow-on raise (£500k–£1m) once demand and repeat sales are demonstrated.

Capital accelerates delivery rather than initiating the project. Core creative work is already underway, with production and distribution plans defined.

SEIS Tax Relief

Qualifying investors can receive up to 50% income tax relief, CGT exemption on gains, and loss relief if the investment doesn't perform. HMRC Advance Assurance has been granted.

What this unlocks

Completion and release of Books 1–3
Market validation through direct sales and Kickstarter
18–24 months of execution runway
A proven base for institutional follow-on funding

Capital discipline

No speculative inventory
No dependency on publishers or licensors
Spend paced against delivery milestones and demand signals
Less than 15% on depreciating assets
