Chorion

Background
Chorion was an international media company operating in London, created in April 1998 and later expanding to US and (formerly) Australia. From 2011 to 2012, the company went into debts and sold its property to various owners due to the failure of the company's lenders to reach an agreement to restructure Chorion's debt burdens. Meanwhile, Waheed Alli and Elizabeth Dampier created, reorganized and relaunched as "Silvergate Media, as part of a management buy-out, when Alli purchased the rights to Octonauts and The World of Beatrix Potter from Chorion, a company he was previously chair of.
