01 / The proposition

Opportunity starts
with people.

We shape compelling propositions, assemble founding teams and strategic partners, and organise capital around credible ventures—bringing together the right idea, people, capital, and story to create momentum and unlock long-term value.

We look at opportunity through a people-first lens, informed by media, culture, and creativity. Commercial discipline matters, but while numbers largely describe what has already happened, understanding why people buy, what earns attention and trust, and what they may want next can help reveal what happens next.

02 / Our focus

Defined by
opportunity.

01

Entertainment

New propositions, formats, and experiences shaped by changing audience behaviour—and by the evolving relationship between talent, culture, and commerce.

02

Digital media

Media, publishing, and audience opportunities with the potential to build trust, relevance, participation, and long-term value.

03

Technology

Technology that enables new behaviours, improves experiences, or creates stronger and more scalable commercial models.

04

Lifestyle & hospitality

Businesses, places, and experiences responding to how people want to live, gather, travel, and spend their time.

05

Real estate

Places, assets, and propositions where stronger positioning, experience, and partnership can unlock greater potential.

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.

Capital,
with context.

Our dealroom for investment and capital.

RGX Capital provides a focused identity for evaluating, structuring, and participating in opportunities, and for developing relationships with aligned investors and capital partners.

We begin with the quality of the opportunity: the proposition, the people capable of leading it, the role of capital, and the story that can create understanding and momentum.

06 / The foundation

Experience informs us.
The future defines us.

Read Global began in Australia in 2007 with Chris Read’s first business. It has since been shaped by an interwoven entrepreneurial and corporate career—businesses built, companies led, opportunities created, successes achieved, failures experienced, and lessons carried forward.

Today, that accumulated experience informs the organisation, but Read Global’s identity is defined by what it exists to build next.

Founder thinking / publishing

Making the thinking
behind Read Global visible.

Ideas in motion.

The Read Insider is where Chris Read shares observations about people and markets, emerging theses, lessons from building, and conversations that can open new possibilities.

The focus is not the founder as the subject. It is the thinking—made useful, open to challenge, and capable of becoming opportunity.

The Talent Industry

How artists, creators, performers, public figures, experts, and other talent-led builders can build enduring enterprises and retain greater participation in the value they create.

08 / Work with us

If you see
overlooked value,
so do we.

We want to meet founders, operators, investors, strategic partners, businesses and individuals with unrealised value, and talent with the ambition to build beyond their existing reach.
