The company that owns pornhub (mindgeek) owns many other porn sites.
Public offering is not the play here. They should be focused on consolidating more of the porn/adult entertainment landscape under their parent umbrella (mindgeek) rather than being a pure play porn streamer. Sex toys, VR, dolls - all of these could really be strong bolt on investments with strong industry tailwinds driving revenue even higher as the metaverse takes off.
They failed to innovate around content creator networks like Onlyfans, and have been forced to play catch-up ever since. The porn industry in rapidly changing and without new strategic direction and leadership, they stand risk of becoming obsolete. They desperately need their own porn version of Satya Nadella, lest they wither and die under Steve Ballmer.
This guys knows his shit about the porn industry
to answer the question about who would be lead left?
100% Jp Morgan.
"
Bergemar declined to talk to the Financial Times, and The Post could not find contact information for him online. Pornhub did not respond to an email Thursday asking about his role in the company.
But MindGeek also reportedly has some better-known financial backers — including JPMorgan Chase, Cornell University and Fortress Investment Group, a New York-based investment management firm."
