Making Things.

Read Global is Chris Read’s operating platform for originating opportunities and bringing together the people, partners, and capital required to make them real.
Explore Read Global01 / The proposition
Opportunity starts
with people.
Chris Read originates opportunities by recognising patterns in people, behaviour, businesses, assets, and markets—then framing a clear proposition around what could exist.
Read Global is the platform through which he brings together the right founders, operators, strategic partners, and capital. Chris works upstream to create the conditions for others to lead, build, and make the opportunity real.
Meet Chris Read02 / Our focus
Defined by
opportunity.
Entertainment
New propositions, formats, and experiences shaped by changing audience behaviour—and by the evolving relationship between culture and commerce.
Digital media
Media, publishing, and audience opportunities with the potential to build trust, relevance, participation, and long-term value.
Technology
Technology that enables new behaviours, improves experiences, or creates stronger and more scalable commercial models.
Lifestyle & hospitality
Businesses, places, and experiences responding to how people want to live, gather, travel, and spend their time.
Real estate
Places, assets, and propositions where stronger positioning, experience, and partnership can unlock greater potential.
Venture Capital
Early-stage and growth opportunities where aligned capital, strategic insight, and active partnership can help unlock long-term value.
These are not rigid sector boundaries. They are connected by human behaviour, culture, experience, and the changing ways people live, work, create, consume, and invest.
We look for original concepts and unrealised potential within existing businesses, assets, audiences, relationships, intellectual property, and market shifts.
04 / Chris Read
Stage. Boardroom.
Deal room. Studio.
Chris Read is an entertainer, founder, investor, and producer whose career has moved from stagecraft to corporate leadership and venture origination.
He learned to read rooms, then people, then behavioural shifts and markets. Today he uses that experience to recognise opportunities, shape propositions, and bring together the people and partnerships required to move them forward.
