Los Angeles, CA – October 24, 2025 – Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP (JMBM) recently represented GammaTime, the first premium micro-drama streaming platform built specifically for American audiences, in its $14 million Seed Funding. The round was led by vgames and Pitango, with additional investments from Alexis Ohanian, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Traverse Ventures.
The JMBM team was led by partner David Ma and associates Alex Palabrica, Kourosh Azin, Will Newman, Liza Kirillova, and Melody Mohammadi, with additional support from partners Jamie Ogden and Ryan Nowicki.
GammaTime was founded by JMBM client, visionary producer, and former Miramax CEO Bill Block, along with Slava Mudrykh and Alex Montalvo, who serves as Chief Content Officer. It combines Hollywood storytelling expertise with mobile-first consumption patterns. GammaTime delivers high-quality short-form series optimized for smartphone viewing. The company leverages predictive AI and audience testing to ensure every piece of content maximizes viewer engagement and satisfaction.
"While early micro-drama apps proved the storytelling format works, they've barely scratched the surface of what's possible. We are a demand driven, technologically determined content app where the next billion consumers will discover premium stories to satisfy their appetite. Combine that interest with our creative talent and Slava Mudrykh's mobile team of experts, and we are well positioned to win in this category," Block said.
