Silvergate Media is a television production and brand licensing company based in London and New York. The company was founded in 2011 by Waheed Alli, who set up the company as part of a management buy-out, buying the rights to The Octonauts and The World of Beatrix Potter from Chorion, a company he was previously chair of.[1]
The company has signed a deal with Netflix to produce Hilda, an animated television adaptation of comic Hilda by Luke Pearson, which was released in 2018.[2][3]
Silvergate also produced Sunny Day for Nickelodeon, which started airing on August 21, 2017.[4]
In 2016, the investment fund Shamrock Capital Advisors acquired a 51% equity of the company,[5] with the valuation reported to be "between £70 and £80 million".[6]
