Founded by Jackson Van Horn, Vanmoto Media was created to help launch a new generation of entertainers and bridge the gap between traditional media and the creator economy.

​

Vanmoto works primarily with development and production logistics. The company was founded on three core values, diversity, equity and inclusion; impact storytelling; and helping a new generation of creatives. The company prioritizes stories and creatives from and about marginalized groups.
Aside from their media projects, the company also runs various programs, such as their Film School Mentorship Program, to help underrepresented students get into top film programs. Since it’s creation, Vanmoto Media has gone on to be accepted into dozens of film festivals, produce one of 2022’s most followed podcasts on Spotify, and shift the entertainment landscape.
 

The name "Vanmoto" comes from Jackson's two last names, "Van Horn" and "Matsumoto". As a Japanese-American, his heritage is always an important part of his identity. The name represents both cultures merged into one. Similar to the combined name, the company Vanmoto hopes to bring people together through media, regardless of their background. ​
