#CreativeCapital

Patreon is exactly the kind of platform that enables the creative class direct access to the wealth created from their work. #CreativeCapital

#CreativeCapital = Directly owning your audience.

Creative jobs matter.

Creatives have all of the assets but none of the assets, all of the tools, but none of the jewels.

Great thread on passing on an opportunity to take equity in Slack, $27B later. Many firm owners have been in this position with startup clients. In the moment, the decision (cash or equity/incentives) always seems binary. It’s not. Get both.

Have been working on the Creative Capital model with FKTRY for a solid run now. Many learnings on how to negotiate deals w startups on a creative services for equity + cash basis. First step is how you 'value' creativity as an asset to exchange in the first place...

Some exceptional outcomes for the Creative Class on the tail end of 2020 with Prehype incubated BarkBox going public via SPAC at $1.6B. Respect to Henrik Werdelin and the gang for changing the studio game. businessinsider.com/barkbox-dog-su…

We celebrate another win for the creative class and Creative Capital with Andrew Wilkinson who pivoted out of pure consulting with Metalab into investing with Tiny Capital... which now listed via a SPAC. Another creative class game changer. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Creativity is leverage #CreativeCapital

The price of productivity is creativity.

Venture terminology, awash with idioms and acronyms, can appear daunting. However, it's simply a language to be learned. For the diligent, that does not take long. Then you can begin to negotiate your terms...

Law firms in the original dot com boom were heavily engaged in the Creative Capital model offering their services in part in exchange for equity. Whilst they got burnt in the crash, it's a practice that is still continued today. #CreativeCapital x.com/AutismCapital/…
