"Every day there's a new article or a story or disruption taking place," Andrew Howard, a partner at Shamrock Capital, told Insider this summer about the firm's media strategies.
Shamrock, which is based in California, pursues strategies in the private markets, mainly through equity or debt-based investments.
Founded as a family office in the late 1970s for members of the Disney family, the firm has blossomed into an institutional investor exclusively focused on media, entertainment, and communications.
Howard likened the speed of today's transformations to the dot-com arms race that defined the Internet landscape two decades ago.
"We're coaching kids whose parents are running major studios and companies within media and entertainment," Howard said.
