Parrot Eyes is an angel-led studio backing IP-first founders in media and entertainment. We invest early, sharpen the IP, and help build the company around it.
In a world where anyone can spin up a product in a weekend, the only durable moat is what you actually own: a format only you could invent, a brand only you could build, a method only you understand, a story only you can tell.
That's where we focus. Parrot Eyes is built around intellectual property as the foundation — not the afterthought.
We invest in founders whose edge is ownable, then help them turn it into a real company.
Three moves, in order. We don't skip steps and we don't pretend the order doesn't matter.
We back founders whose edge is ownable — a format, a method, a brand, a piece of code, a story only they can tell.
We help turn raw ideas into protectable, productised IP — the kind that compounds, licenses, and travels.
Then we wrap product, brand, distribution, and capital around that core — and grow the company outward from there.
The strongest companies emerge when smart people with different backgrounds collaborate openly and early — around something genuinely worth defending.
Parrot Eyes is a network of founders, advisers, specialists, and investors that does exactly that. Quietly, and very deliberately.
The IP is yours. Everything else is what we plug in to help it become a real company — capital, craft, connections, and a few opinions you didn't know you needed.
Angel cheques, often first money in.
What you own, why it matters, how to defend it.
Turning insight into something people can use.
Stories sharp enough to license themselves.
From first 100 users to repeatable engine.
Operators, creatives, scientists, distributors.
Founders building something that didn't exist last year.
Teams whose edge is protectable — and worth protecting.
People who ship, learn, and ship again. Fast.
A small, growing roster of products and companies developed inside the Parrot Eyes network — each anchored to something genuinely ownable.
Three questions a day.
Compare yourself with the world, your friends, or specific groups — and discover how normal, or wonderfully strange, you really are. Part self-discovery tool, part social experiment, part entertainment platform.
A homage to the gritty fiction of the ’90s. “RAKKA: WAKE 01 - SOOT” unfolds as an episodic, linear visual novel that blends paper-cut style comics, animation, music and dialogue into a slow-burn mystery thriller that dares you to dig deeper — even when you really, really shouldn’t.
If you're building something ambitious, original, or difficult to explain in a single sentence, especially if there's real IP at the heart of it, we'd love to hear from you.
