This week we had on Faye Maidment (@maidmentfaye) with Unshackled Ventures.
Unshackled is an early stage fund focused on partnering with and supporting immigrant-founded startups. The fund invests agnostically across verticals, and Faye spends most of her time within AR, VR, Gen Z, and internet culture. Outside of work, she also co-authors a weekly newsletter (High Tea) that dives into the topics she is interested in.
In this episode, we discuss:
The explosion of the creator economy and the secondary effects of this transition
The art of curation and audience building
Why AR/VR is poised to get over the adoption issue
Evaluating timing risk as an investor
