About Nick Cates

The last 2 decades have been a glorious journey of discovery for me, spending my time producing or overseeing dozens of series and specials for companies like E! Entertainment Television, BET, A&E, Discovery, GSN, ID, Style and more. My affinity for story-telling and for leading teams allowed me to create shows and specials in formats ranging from entertainment news and specials, to reality docuseries and documentaries, to late-night series and large scale studio competition series. Always an entrepreneur, throughout my career, I invested in real estate and I began helping other industry professionals buy and sell property as well. Desiring even more control over my career, I eventually took the bold move to actually step away from full time TV production in order to launch the successful real estate startup Showpads, with the mission to make booking in-person tours of vacant apartments as easy as ordering an Uber.Still, creating television never took a back seat. My wide-ranging tastes and experience earned me a role as a production executive with BET networks, overseeing the docuseries Home Team, which followed the personal life and career of charismatic NFL all-star Desean Jackson, as well as the network's long-running music competition series Sunday Best.Most recently I developed and produced the pilot for my most innovative project yet. "The Catch" is a high-concept social experiment that capitalizes on the decades-long ubiquity of digital cameras and cell phones, which gives millennials and Gen Xers have easily-accessible images of themselves, practically from birth. The show's unique format asks Singles burning question: can you tell from a suitor's awkward past images and stories, how compatible and physically appealing will you find them today? The results are always fun and surprising."The Catch" is just one, in a trove of compelling, of-the-moment series and formats I am actively developing through my production company Mindfield Productions

Nick Cates Work Experience Details
  • The Catch Dating
    Founder
    The Catch Dating Feb 2023 - Present
    Los Angeles, California, United States
    Singles find compatibility and connection by judging each others (often cringeworthy) childhood, middle school and high school pictures...and the stories behind them BEFORE revealing their current look. We’re developing a half-hour series for social media and broadcast distribution, along with a mobile dating app that uses this same concept.
  • Mindfield Productions
    Creator, Executive Producer
    Mindfield Productions Sep 2020 - Present
    Los Angeles Metropolitan Area
    Mindfield is fertile ground for game-changing television and social media content creation. The Catch is our first major venture, a true, organic, integration of a dating television series and a dating app based on the concept of exploring the sometimes awkward formative years of potential matches to find compatibility before seeing what they look like today.
  • Showpads Rental Showing Service
    Founder/Ceo
    Showpads Rental Showing Service Jan 2016 - Present
    Greater Los Angeles Area
    During my career as a television Executive Producer I developed a passion for building personal wealth through real estate investing. After purchasing several income properties, I became a Realtor so I could use my experience to help other buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals. Even as I enjoyed success as a Realtor I was always aware of a nagging unmet need in the rental market; the need to bring an on-demand experience to showing vacancies. I thought, why can't renters make appointments to see apartments like they order takeout? With that question, I launched SHOWPADS Rental Showings. https://showpads.com/ 323-892-7237Like Uber, Postmates and countless other companies, I've recruited and trained a team of independently-contracted associates with the purpose of providing access to rentals 7 days a week. This means, when landlords, property managers and Realtors sign up with us, they can spend their time more productively, while their properties get unprecedented exposure and spend less time on market. I bring this same passion and creativity to everything I do in real estate. I'd love to my ethic and perspective to work for you.
