Hi. I’m Juliette, and I work in early stage venture capital investing across all sectors, but mainly those tangentially related to consumer media (hence my focus here on creator economy and media technology). I have a background in management consulting, the music industry (licensing and publishing), and experience at a MarTech startup.
This might sound strange given its relative ~niche~, but I knew for some time that I’d work in media VC, focused on making markets and placing bets on technology that would enable the consumer, fatigued from whatever the 21st century work day looks like for them, to have the best possible experience in their scarce but ever important moments of leisure.
And by “enable,” I mean tech that would scale and greatly improve the consumers’ interactions with the industries which contain their sources of utmost pleasure. This includes everything related to search and discovery, sheer quality of content and experience, and much else.
As the term “creator economy” took shape in recent years, I’m especially excited by the prospect of enabling more talented people to do what they’re best equipped to do. From whichever angle you’d like to focus your attention, I like to think that I’m aiming to solve the “problem” of improving the most sought after moments in time.
To quote Walter Pater in his The Renaissance, “We have an interval, and then our place knows us no more. Some spend this interval in listlessness, some in high passions, the wisest, at least among ‘the children of this world,’ in art and song. For our one chance lies in expanding that interval, in getting as many pulsations as possible into the given time.”
How do you or would you like to expand your interval?
And with that in mind, I’d like to play a role in helping to optimize our time here.
