Elevated X to Shift Focus to Investment, Venture Funding

LOS ANGELES — Elevated X will no longer sell its software to new customers, but will transition into an investment and venture funding firm.

Director of Operations Heather Knox said, “In 2018, Elevated X launched a comprehensive concierge website service, Elevated X Complete, and began investing in indie producers and performers lacking the capital to transition to operating large scale brands. The success of this investment and business incubation program, along with record-breaking success among our legacy production brand clients has been impossible to ignore. At this point in our maturity and with our position in the industry, this transition was a very natural next step for the company.”

According to Knox, the decision was made that 2023 would be the last year Elevated X offered its software for sale to new customers.

“It simply makes sense at this point in the life cycle of our business to reallocate 100% of our passion and our resources toward what we do best — building, supporting, growing and sustaining the most successful brands in adult entertainment,” she explained.

As part of focusing exclusively on existing clients, the company will begin providing direct funding to individuals, “including showcasing them at the industry’s biggest trade shows, with dedicated show booths for their own brands exclusively,” Knox said.

A rep noted that the company will still be building a select number of websites each year through its investment and business incubation division, Elevated X Complete, as well as “continue its 20-year history of consistent product development and monthly software bug-fix, performance enhancement and security updates, along with a series of new components, improvements and offerings slated for release this year.”
