Ozy (styled as OZY) is an American media and entertainment company launched in September 2013 by Carlos Watson and Samir Rao.[1][2][3][4] It is headquartered in Mountain View, California, with an additional office in New York City.

Ozy produces podcasts,[5] television series,[6] and events.[7] Ozy received an Emmy for a 2019 television show that aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network.[8] and an Imagen award for Best Informational Program.[9]

Following a scandal concerning executive misbehavior and exaggerated user engagement metrics reported by The New York Times in late September 2021, Ozy's board of directors announced on October 1, 2021, that it would cease operations. The company subsequently laid off a majority of its staff.[10] On October 4, CEO Watson announced that the company would remain in operation with a significantly reduced board of directors, despite the objections of an early investor.[11][12][13][14][15]

In November, 2021 it was reported that the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission had opened investigations into the company.[16]

History[]

Financing[]

Ozy was launched as a digital magazine and daily newsletter in September 2013. The company raised a $5.3 million seed round of funding in December 2013 backed by Laurene Powell Jobs, founder of Emerson Collective.[17] Additional early investors included Louise Rogers and Ron Conway.[18] Powell Jobs became a board member.[19]

In October 2014, Ozy announced that German media giant Axel Springer had invested $20 million in the company.[20] In January 2017, Ozy announced a $10 million Series B round of fundraising, led by Michael Moe's GSV Capital.[21] In November 2019 Ozy announced a Series C round of $35 million, led by businessman Marc Lasry.[22]

In January 2021, Axios announced that the company had reached profitability for the first time, having brought in $50 million in revenue in 2020.[23] The company also said that it had received acquisition offers from unnamed media companies.[23] In March 2021, Adweek announced that Ozy and advertising agency Dentsu had agreed to a multi-year partnership as part of Dentsu's investment in "meaningful media" focused on millennial and Gen Z consumers.[24]

Ozy also received funding from the Ford Foundation.[25]

Partnerships[]

In 2014, the company began a content partnership with the National Geographic Society, which publishes National Geographic.[26] The company also partnered with the BBC.[27] It also partnered with Lifetime, with The History Channel and, in additional projects, with that channel's parent company, A&E Networks.[28]

In print media, Ozy has partnered since 2015 with The New York Times and Wired.[29]

Allegations of fraud[]

On September 26, 2021, the New York Times reported that that Samir Rao, COO and a co-founder of the company, had impersonated a YouTube executive in a formal meeting with Goldman Sachs. The meeting was an attempt to secure a $40 million investment.[19] After bringing their suspicions to YouTube, YouTube confirmed that no executive participated in a call with Goldman Sachs. As a result, Goldman Sachs did not go forward with the investment. Google, the parent company of YouTube, then referred the matter to Federal law enforcement to investigate the apparent fraud perpetrated by Ozy.[19] The New York Times report also discussed inflated traffic numbers, which BuzzFeed had reported on in 2017.[30][19]

Following media coverage of Rao's impersonation, Ozy's board of directors asked him to take a leave of absence and announced that they had engaged the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison to undertake a review of the company's business practices.[31] Upon the company's restart a few days later, Watson said he wasn't sure the review would happen.[32] Elsewhere it was reported that the board members who had requested the review were no longer with the company.[15]

A number of prominent people and organizations distanced themselves from Ozy following the publication of the Times article. Television journalist Katty Kay, who had joined just three months prior, resigned from Ozy Media; SV Angel announced it would give up the shares it had acquired in Ozy in 2012; and A&E canceled the broadcast of a documentary it had produced with Ozy.[33][34] The company's chairman Marc Lasry resigned after three weeks on the job and released a statement, "I believe that going forward Ozy requires experience in areas like crisis management and investigations, where I do not have particular expertise."[35]

Shortly after the Times article was published, Sharon Osbourne responded to a request by CNBC to verify a statement Ozy CEO Watson had made in a 2019 interview with them that Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, after having sued Ozy over infringement on their Ozzfest brand, "decided to be friends and now they're investors in Ozy." Osbourne denied that she or her husband had been investors, saying, "This guy is the biggest shyster I have ever seen in my life", adding that during their legal battle she had declined shares in Ozy that Watson offered her.[36] On October 4, 2021, Watson said that he had described the Osbournes as investors because they had been granted shares of stock in Ozy as part of a legal settlement.[13]

Aftermath[]

On October 1, 2021, Watson, who had just been re-elected to a second three-year term as a corporate director of NPR, resigned immediately before a governance committee was planning to meet to determine his future.[37] The same day, Ozy edited its website to remove Samir Rao's staff page.[38] The board announced the company's closure, saying, "It is therefore with the heaviest of hearts that we must announce today that we are closing Ozy's doors." A majority of the staff were laid off.[10][39]

On October 4, 2021, Watson said that Ozy would remain active.[13] In an interview on NBC's Today, he announced the company is open for business, saying, "This is our Lazarus moment, if you will, our Tylenol moment."[13] The next day, LifeLine Legacy Holdings, a fund management company that invested more than $2 million, filed a lawsuit claiming Ozy “engaged in fraudulent, deceptive and illegal conduct.”[40]

Axios noted the company would continue to face multiple issues in its attempted recovery, including investigations by the U.S. federal government and by outside law firms. They also noted that it remained unclear how much cash Ozy has on hand, and that the board of directors now includes only Watson and venture capitalist Michael Moe.[41]

Ron Conway, an early investor, was highly critical of Watson's decision to reopen. Conway said that he did not think the company should spend any money on a relaunch and that instead Ozy should have used its remaining cash to pay two weeks' severance to about 75 former Ozy employees.[15]

In November, 2021 it was reported that the Justice Department and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had opened investigations into the company. Watson confirmed that he had heard from the SEC.[16]

Content[]

Magazine[]

Ozy's digital magazine focuses on profiles of rising stars and trends, often rehashing stories covered previously by other media without any original interviews or reporting.[42][18] Reporters are given budgets as small as $150 per story and are instructed not to cover topics that are covered by other mainstream media outlets, which leads to the publication of some articles that focused on issues that are of very narrow interest.[43]

In 2017, Ozy reporters visited all 50 U.S. states for a project called "States of the Nation." The year after that, Ozy produced a series called "Around the World" in which they committed to report on three stories in every country. CNN reported that both series were largely delivered as promised, although the latter grouped some smaller countries together.[44]

Television[]

In 2016, Ozy's first television series, The Contenders: 16 for '16, aired on PBS.[45] It later produced three additional series for PBS.[46][47][48][49]

The four-part show Black Women OWN the Conversation aired in August and September 2019 on the Oprah Winfrey Network. The episode "Motherhood" won the Outstanding News Discussion and Analysis award at the 41st News & Documentary Emmy Awards in 2020.[50][51] The show featured conversations with an audience of 100 black women.[52]

In January 2020, Ozy announced a partnership with A&E Networks to co-produce at least two additional television shows.[53] By September 2020, the number of titles announced under the partnership had grown to five, including two scripted shows, a dating show, and a re-editing of the company's first TV show, The Contenders, updated for the 2020 election.[28]

In July 2020, Ozy announced The Carlos Watson Show, a new daily talk show focused on long-form interviews, which would be distributed on YouTube.[54] Brad Bessey, executive producer of The Carlos Watson Show, told The New York Times in September 2021 that he had been misled to believe that the show would air in prime time on A&E when he was hired. Talent bookers provided similarly misleading statements to guests on the show. Bessey resigned after learning that the show would instead be produced by the A&E Networks company for YouTube distribution. In his farewell email to Watson and Ozy COO Samir Rao, Bessey wrote, "You are playing a dangerous game with the truth. The consequences of offering an A&E show to guests when we don't have one to offer are catastrophic for Ozy and for me."[55]

Podcasts[]

Ozy produces several podcasts, beginning with history podcast The Thread in 2017,[56] an episode of which was featured as one of the 25 best podcasts of 2017 by The Guardian.[57] The company also produces a science and technology podcast The Future of X,[58] and Ozy Confidential, an interview podcast.[59]

Ozy Fest[]

In 2016 an event dubbed "Ozy Fest" was launched, which until 2018 was held in Rumsey Playfield at Central Park in New York City.[60] The name of Ozy Fest sparked a lawsuit from Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest in 2017.[61] The festival featured appearances from Wyclef Jean, Issa Rae, Katie Couric, and others.[62][63][64] Laurene Powell Jobs interviewed Hillary Clinton.[65][66]

Ozy Fest 2019 was canceled, which was blamed on a heat wave.[67] It later emerged that Ozy had been grossly inflating crowd projections and was ill-prepared for the event itself, with one employee saying "It was going to be Fyre Fest."[68]

In 2021, Ozy Fest aired a two-day virtual event to raise funds for the United Negro College Fund.[69]

Ozy Genius Awards[]

Ozy has hosted an irregular scholarship program since 2015,[70] awarding 10 college-aged applicants with a $10,000 grant to pursue a "genius idea".[71] Among the 2017 class of Ozy Genius Award winners was 2021 inauguration poet Amanda Gorman.[72]

Organization[]

Ozy was founded by members of minority groups. CEO Watson said, "More than half of our company is people of color, more than half of our leadership team is female."[23] According to employees, Ozy demands very long work hours and high output. Employee turnover is high; employees have described executives as mercurial and abusive.[43][73]

Reception[]

The Daily Telegraph described OZY as "a left-wing media company".[74] Variety profiled Ozy favorably.[75] Axios described it as "one of the few digital media companies today that was founded and is run by a person of color".[76]

Ozy Fest 2018 was also criticized as a "neoliberal nightmare" by Rolling Stone,[77] a "sizzling hot festival for folks who love Coachella and neoliberalism"[78] by GQ, and "a progressive alternate reality" by The Washington Post.[79]
