In this solo episode, I dive into the evolving intersection of the creator economy and venture capital—two worlds that are more connected than ever but still largely untapped. Over the past year, I became a venture partner at Bulletpitch+, giving me firsthand insight into how deals are being made and why I believe creators need a seat at the table.

I’m uniquely positioned to break this down because I’ve been on both sides. I’ve been contracted as a content creator, understanding the power of distribution and brand building firsthand, and I’ve also raised capital as an investor, seeing how decisions get made behind the scenes. Too many creators are missing out on real opportunities, and I explain how they can shift from just promoting brands to owning pieces of them. I also break down why VCs and startups need to rethink how they leverage creators and where the biggest opportunities lie in this evolving landscape.
