V10 Entertainment has announced an investment in The Jovenshire Inc, the production company founded by creator and executive producer Joshua Ovenshire.  The prolific producer and successful YouTube creator who goes by “Jovenshire” has produced content for top tier platforms and brands including SMOSH, Dungeons & Dragons, and FailArmy.  Jovenshire has also led the V10 Digital group which hosts America’s Funniest Videos and boasts more than 100M+ followers.

Joven launched his production company in 2017 and has quickly evolved as a major player in the microdrama space with the success of the first reality hit series in a crowded space that focuses on scripted.  With Love Bombing for the ReelShort platform a breakout, Jovenshire has two additional series already in development and V10 has committed to finance an additional 10 more with the company.

“Joven is a forward-thinking producer who has collaborated with some of the biggest creators and platforms.  His work speaks for itself and V10 is excited to place a bet on The Jovenshire’s growth in both the premium vertical and traditional production areas”, said John Stevens, CEO, V10 Entertainment.  “This investment will both help Jovenshire scale in this rapidly growing space and will help position our companies in such an exciting time in content creation.”

Joven adds, “This is an exciting moment for creators.  Audiences are consuming content in new ways, and with V10’s support, we’re in the perfect position to deliver the kind of shows that both reflect that shift and help lead it.” 

V10 also recently acquired Towerhouse, a content production and rights management company.  Towerhouse CEO and Head of V10 Digital, Parker Jones adds: “We back builder‑creators who treat vertical like a first‑class canvas. From Smosh and D&D to ReelShort, Joven launches formats fast and keeps quality high. With V10’s distribution and data engine and Joven’s production instincts, we’re aiming to be the top producer of premium vertical series, unscripted and scripted.”

The Jovenshire/V10 deal was brokered by Molly Simms of Del Shaw on behalf of V10 and Clarion Capital. John Begakis of Altview represented Jovenshire Productions.
