FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INTERNET.ceo Ventures, Inc. Acquires DeepGate.vc, Bringing DeepGate Ventures Into Its Expanding IP Universe
THE INTERNET— September 26, 2026 — INTERNET.ceo Ventures, Inc. today announced the acquisition of DeepGate.vc, bringing the DeepGate Ventures concept into the company's growing portfolio of original intellectual property.
DeepGate Ventures is the fictional venture-capital firm at the center of an upcoming INTERNET.ceo original film and story universe exploring the increasingly strange relationship between founders, venture capital, technology, money, algorithms, and the Internet.
The acquisition transforms DeepGate.vc from a fictional antagonist into a permanent piece of the INTERNET.ceo IP universe.
A VC Firm That Exists Inside the Story
In the DeepGate universe, founders come to the gate seeking capital.
Some receive a meeting.
Some receive a rejection.
Some simply disappear from the conversation.
The central question isn't whether DeepGate controls the future.
It's whether founders can build the future without asking DeepGate for permission.
The upcoming film DEEPGATE VENTURES follows founders navigating a mysterious venture-capital ecosystem where visibility, capital, reputation, and access can determine which ideas get seen — and which disappear into the digital shadows.
But in true INTERNET.ceo fashion, the fictional company has now become part of the real-world company's intellectual-property portfolio.
The joke became a story.
The story became IP.
The IP became a company asset.
Building an Internet-Native Entertainment Universe
INTERNET.ceo Ventures, Inc. is developing an expanding universe of original characters, films, domains, digital properties, and stories built around the culture of the Internet and the emerging possibilities of AI-native entertainment.
DeepGate Ventures joins other INTERNET.ceo properties as part of a strategy centered on creating interconnected intellectual property that can move across film, streaming, games, websites, social media, and other digital formats.
“DeepGate is exactly the kind of idea that INTERNET.ceo was built to create,” said Daniel Bryan, Founder of INTERNET.ceo Ventures, Inc. “You start with an idea. You put it on the Internet. Then you keep building until the idea becomes something bigger than you originally imagined.”
The Gate Is Now Part of the Universe
With the acquisition of DeepGate.vc, INTERNET.ceo Ventures, Inc. can develop DeepGate across multiple forms of entertainment and digital media, including the upcoming DEEPGATE VENTURES film, characters, storylines, websites, and future adaptations.
The company describes the project as “a film about founders vs. DeepGate.”
The premise is simple:
The founders want to change the world.
DeepGate wants to decide who gets through the gate.
And now...
DeepGate belongs to INTERNET.ceo.
