OManagement specializes in working with news, journalism, and personality-driven talent, with a client list that includes Today anchor Craig Melvin, Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner and NBC News contributor Steve Kornacki, among others.
The addition of OManagement comes amid a shifting landscape for news, journalism and opinion programming and content. The emergence of Substack, newsletters, audio and video podcasts and other platforms means that both journalists and opinionated hosts have more options than ever when it comes to figuring out where they ply their craft, even as traditional TV channels continue to slowly shrink.
The acquisition marks a big move into news for the Lionsgate-controlled 3 Arts, which has traditionally been focused on entertainment management and production, with clients like Tina Fey and Mike Judge and shows like The Office, Four Seasons and King of the Hill.
That being said, the company made a significant move into sports and athlete management earlier this week with the acquisition of A&A Management, the Ohio-based firm that represents Travis Kelce, NBA star Jonathan Kuminga and other sports related clients.
3 Arts will be able to leverage its reach and production expertise to OManagement's news talent as they explore options beyond legacy media institutions.
'At 3 Arts, we recognize that news talent and media personalities have never been more valuable than they are today,' said 3 Arts Entertainment co-CEOs Brian Weinstein and Michael Rotenberg. 'With audiences seeking out trusted individual voices, our partnership with OManagement allows us to support journalists and news professionals and personalities as they build their brands and adapt to new ways of connecting with the public. OManagement possesses unrivaled relationships with media companies and on-air talent, and as 3 Arts Entertainment expands its New York City presence, the addition of Olivia as a leader and a partner will help our combined team support cultural influencers and personalities creating impactful content.'
'The news industry is evolving, but the need for thoughtful, strategic support for storytellers and experts remains constant,' Metzger added. 'Partnering with 3 Arts allows us to offer our clients expanded opportunities across a dynamic media landscape, while preserving the close, individualized attention that has always defined both OManagement and 3 Arts. By combining our deep experience in agenting and talent development with 3 Arts' strengths in production and media strategy, we're creating a powerful alliance uniquely positioned to support storytellers and experts at every stage of their careers.'

Blueprint Finance Raises Additional $9.5 Million to Build the Next Generation of DeFi Infrastructure Solutions
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 23, 2025-- Today, Blueprint Finance, a multi-chain DeFi infrastructure company and the core developer of both the Ethereum-based Concrete and Solana-based Glow Finance, announced it has raised a fresh $9.5 million in funding led by Polychain Capital, including a strategic investment from Yzi Labs (formerly Binance Labs). To date, Blueprint has raised more than $17 million. This raise includes participation from other leading investment and venture capital firms in the industry, including VanEck, Selini Capital, Portal Ventures, Auros, Halo Capital, Leadblock Bitpanda Ventures, BitGo, and Gate Ventures, among others. Following last year's $7.5M raise, Blueprint Finance emerged from stealth to launch Concrete, an Ethereum-based protocol building next-generation infrastructure for DeFi-native asset management. The platform enables developers, DAOs, and institutional allocators to launch, manage, and scale composable, tokenized on-chain portfolios, which also serve as the foundation for new derivative assets. Since launching earlier this year, Concrete has released a series of products that include liquidity bootstrapping campaigns for new networks as well as yield strategy vaults that have collectively gained over $650m in TVL. The funds in this round will be used to enable the continued growth of the Concrete and Glow protocols, scale new products, increase institutional adoption, and facilitate go-to-market expansion. This raise comes on the heels of Blueprint's expansion into the Solana ecosystem with the recent launch of Glow Finance in April. Glow was born from Blueprint's acquisition of Jet Protocol, a Solana-native lending platform, in October 2024, which now serves as the substructure for the Glow protocol. Building upon this layer, Glow will introduce novel mechanisms such as portable margin accounts, automated yield vaults, and staking markets, while continuing to develop new features and soon-to-be-released new products. 'This round of fundraising comes at a time of rapid growth for our team,' said Nic Roberts-Huntley, CEO and co-founder of Blueprint Finance. 'We've shipped two protocols on two of the most important and active ecosystems in DeFi, and this capital gives us the continued ability to build and serve both retail users and institutional-grade investors at scale.' 'The DeFi industry is entering a period of maturation marked by more sustainable growth, better risk management, and a strong focus on usability,' said Josh Rosenthal, general partner at Polychain Capital. 'Blueprint Finance is building protocols designed with institutional-grade security and liquidity considerations in mind. The new era of DeFi, ushered in by protocols like Concrete and Glow, is set to meet the rising demand of an industry transitioning into a foundational component of the broader financial system.' The Blueprint Finance team is composed of veterans from leading firms in both traditional finance and Web3, including Point72, Morgan Stanley, Consensys, and Coinbase. Additionally, the team has made a number of strategic new hires, including: Chief Growth Officer, Luke Hajdukiewicz, former Head of Sales at EigenLayer; Head of Product, Graeme Barnes, former Head of Product at Maple; Senior Smart Contract Engineer, Haythem Sellami, former Smart Contract Lead at Euler; and Engineering Manager, Gustavo Silva, former Staff Technical Lead at Consensys. About Blueprint Finance Blueprint Finance designs institutional-caliber DeFi solutions through its dual-protocol system. Concrete powers tokenized DeFi native asset management and the creation of new derivatives for any asset, while Glow powers yield, trading, and lending on Solana. Since launch, Blueprint has secured over $650M in total value locked by streamlining sophisticated financial engineering with intuitive user experiences. The company's quantitative framework transforms complex DeFi mechanisms into products that work reliably for both institutions and individuals alike. By eliminating traditional DeFi pain points like liquidation risk and capital fragmentation, Blueprint is building the technical foundation for broader institutional adoption of decentralized finance.

"It was cool to be part of breaking a Guinness World Records title right here in Iowa!" It's not just Des Moines residents who will get to play the record-breaking hole.
