NEWARK, N.J., March 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- HarbourView Equity Partners, the global alternative asset management company founded by Sherrese Clarke Soares, has made its first major investment in the film and TV space, announcing its investment in MACRO, the multi-platform media company, founded by Charles D. King.

The deal brings together two of the most respected minority led businesses in the world of entertainment, with like-minded leaders in Soares and King who share a vision of diversification and authenticity in content.

Harbourview's investment is part of a new $90+ million minority investment in MACRO, which plans to use the new invested capital to scale and expand operations across its existing business verticals, as well as invest in key organic and inorganic growth initiatives to diversify its revenue streams and reinforce the company's core lines of business.

"Sherrese is a trailblazing business leader and investor whose expertise and impressive track record will be immensely additive as we continue to scale MACRO on a global level. The synergy between the investment strategy of Harbourview and what we are building at MACRO will enable us collectively to optimize opportunities at the nexus of entertainment, culture and content."
