As someone who worked in VC, I can honestly say that VCs need to step up their game. So many AI startups don’t need venture funding. They have $500k ARR out of the gate. If you can’t do more than write a check and put a 28 yr old “partner” on their board, you will not be getting on cap tables.

Doesn’t this end up undermining the value of the content being created? Will creators’ audiences respond in the same way if they know the creators are mouthpieces for a particular fund?

As a new fractional Brand Architect/Storyteller - with my very first client (yay!) how do I get in front of VC’s for work like this?

Distribution is the moat. Connecting with an audience is proving to have almost endless value. My main focus as a founder is making sure everything we do is pointed at outputting the greatest content for our audience/fans as possible. The content is the conduit for the connection. It has to be the top of mind when creating any product today.

But she’s been an investor for 6 years though, she isn’t just a creator. But yeah, distribution is the moat
