The company originally received $2.5 million in seed funding from a range of investors. Fishman saw a gap in the online market for high quality teenage programming available for free on digital platforms. The content is structured as several short-form web series starring popular teenage internet celebrities. Fishman noted how the selected social media personalities all brought their own established audiences to Brat\'s programming, describing them as "under-leveraged media property". The name of the network was inspired by the "Brat Pack" movies of the 1980s.\n', 'Brat premiered its first multi-cam sitcom; Hotel du Loone starring Hayley Leblanc in June 2018. The series Chicken Girls produced a digital film in 2018 as part of a deal with Lionsgate and its digital content division Studio L. Prior to the film\'s release, Brat and Lionsgate amicably canceled their partnership. The film was designed to provide an alternative to what had been covered in the series, and premiered in June.\n', '
