Mubi CEO Addresses Criticism Over Funding & Ties with Defense Investor

The boss of the movie streaming service Mubi, Efe Cakarel, responded to people who were upset about Mubi getting money from a company called Sequoia Capital.

Some people think Sequoia's investments might be connected to a company that makes technology for the military.

Cakarel said that Mubi's money doesn't go to those other companies and that he doesn't agree with the military tech company.

He also said that Mubi will make a new policy about how they get funding and will create a group of artists to help make sure things are fair.

He wants to protect the space where filmmakers and their audience can meet, by being honest about where the money comes from and keeping the artists independent.
