Legion M

Scanlan, along with business partner and MobiTV co-founder Jeff Annison, founded Legion M in 2016 as the first entertainment studio that allows fans to invest in and be part of the creation of new films, TV shows, and other entertainment content.[3] [4] Legion M’s model was made possible after the SEC passed Title IV of the JOBS Act, allowing non-accredited investors to make investments in small businesses.[5] Legion M is currently backed by Seth Green, co-creator of Emmy-winning TV series Robot Chicken, and Gaston Dominguez.[4]

MobiTV

Scanlan partnered with Phillip Alvelda and Jeff Annison to found MobiTV (originally known as Idetic).[2] In 2005, Scanlan and his team were awarded an Emmy for Technical Achievement in Advancing Television for their work with MobiTV.[6] In 2011, Forbes Magazine credited Scanlan for the rise in streaming television that came towards the end of the 2000s.[2]
