43north

The stakes are always life-changing at the annual 43North Finals. The startup competition culminates with founders from around the world pitching their ideas live in front of 3,000 people at the historic Shea’s theater for a chance to win a million dollars in investment to move their company to Buffalo.

The pop must match the circumstance, and 43N continually turns to FIFTEEN to elevate the video and animation presentation at the big finale. Over the years, we have produced short films that bring the founder's journey to life, intense hype videos that get the audience roaring, and animations announcing each competing founder, along with the prize winners, with MTV Awards-worthy animation and last-minute flexibility.
