HUSSLUP is part of the 2021 class of the Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs Accelerator, powered by Techstars. The 12-week accelerator helps startups in connectivity, media, and entertainment grow their companies and develop partnerships with Comcast NBCUniversal.

Breaking into the entertainment business is no easy task. Writers, producers, directors, and editors clamor for creative jobs in TV and movies, yet according to HUSSLUP founder H Schuster, executives still often rely on one-to-one relationships and personal circles to find talent. The narrow pipeline is inefficient for executives and puts new and diverse talent at a serious disadvantage for getting work.
