Building the future of Caribbean animation

Wave Animation is supported through a multi-stakeholder network — gaining support through donations, grants, funding and angel investors who share our belief in what a Jamaican studio can build.

How support works today

Multiple paths, one mission

Donations

Direct support from individuals and organizations who want to see local animation succeed.

Grants

Development funding from bodies like the Jamaica Screen Development Initiative (JSDI) and similar programs.

Angel funding

Early believers providing capital to help the studio scale its slate and infrastructure.

Investor portal

Information only today. Controlled access tomorrow.

Wave Animation is building a secure investor portal for approved, counsel-reviewed opportunities. Nothing is being sold today, and this page does not accept investment funds, share purchases, bonds, securities or investment contracts.

Current status

Expression of interest only
Visitors may review public information and start a non-binding conversation. There is no public subscription form, checkout, share-price button or automated allotment.

Controlled intake

Future invitees will need authenticated accounts, verified email, MFA, eligibility checks, KYC review and access to only the approved document versions for their round and jurisdiction.

Transaction gates

Any approved offering must keep application approval, settled payment, board allotment, filings and register reconciliation as separate states. Payment alone will not equal ownership.

Funding categories stay separate

Donations and rewards: support from members, GoFundMe, Patreon or similar channels. These do not promise shares, profit, repayment or ownership.

Grants and public support: programme funding such as JSDI, labelled by source, status, restrictions and date without implying securities approval.

Investment capital: only displayed under counsel-approved terms, with commitments, settled funds and issued holdings labelled as different states.

Portal access

Twenty designated stakeholders

The investor portal is not open to the public. It is open only to the stakeholders Wave Animation Studio designates by name, and never to more than twenty people at a time.

The law

Section 25(1) of Jamaica’s Companies Act, 2004 (Act 10 of 2004) defines a private company as one whose articles:

  1. restrict the right to transfer its shares (s. 25(1)(a));
  2. limit the number of its members to twenty, not counting members who are employees of the company, or who became members while employed by it and have remained members since (s. 25(1)(b));
  3. prohibit any invitation to the public to subscribe for its shares or debentures (s. 25(1)(c)); and
  4. prohibit any invitation to the public to deposit money with it (s. 25(1)(d)).

Two or more people who hold shares jointly count as a single member (s. 25(2)). A company that does not keep to these conditions loses the privileges and exemptions of a private company (s. 27).

Who may open the portal

Only the stakeholders the studio names, up to the limit of twenty. Each signs in with the exact email address the studio recorded for them, and that address must be verified. Nobody can add themselves, and holding an administrator role on this website does not open it.

Everyone else

Nothing on this website is an offer, or an invitation to the public, to subscribe for shares or debentures in Wave Animation Studio. To discuss investing, contact the studio and choose Investment as your topic.
