VeeVentures is on a path and track to prove an all-new PersonalBrandPortfolio™ model that allows entertainment top-of-funnel content to upsell five-figure and beyond outcomes.
Playing the multi-billion-stream game, even if you own your masters, is dumb. Do you have $1 million+ in ad spend? Then why play that game?
When someone isn't operating at your level of quality and professional integrity, sometimes you have to pivot.
One of my good friends, colleagues, and former advisors has been dropping the ball when it comes to professionalism, so much so that it has impacted me negatively. I've decided, with love, to distance myself from investing money there.
It's not about the amount of money. When your brand makes me look like an amateur, that's when I have to draw the line.
Creator 24 is a company that matches enterprise brands with creators. We joined the ecosystem hoping that we would find an enterprise partner for sponsorship. However, the majority of the deals that I've seen thus far haven't fallen into alignment just yet.
Founders/Creators —Bills covered, not stressed mentally and financially, bootstrap for as long as you can.
Grow the business on a FT salary and non-dilutive funding, loans if your credit score can carry the load.
Raising is about fueling what’s already working. Just know it also comes with navigating waters, an entire different game you have to play and study so a predatory team doesn’t take advantage of you.
And when you understand the ethos and game of VC you’ll see these dichotomous contrarian situations that make you not want to swim with some sharks 🦈
If you decide to swim, become a master of its understanding and negotiating or don’t play.
Here's what we got done:
- 56 podcasts in queue
- 12 motivation music songs mastered
- 540 records mapped out
- Investment committee team on standby
- Border operators locked and ready
- Fractional exec team of Avengers
The moment we close our fund, we literally become a rocket ship for sure!
I love how all these AI robot artists are coming out! Sure, you can butcher me on quantitative content, but you'll never take a picture with a fan. I guarantee you, I'm going to beat you on quality all day, every day.
The marketplace bias that AI and SaaS companies with no revenue can raise 2 million to 4 million just because of who they know is the most blasphemous shit I've ever seen in my life!
Here are the things that I would master as a part of your SkillStack™
- Public speaking
- Sales
- Running ads
- Backend coding
- Delegation
If you've got those on your belt, you're solid.
I love the conversation regarding wearing plain clothes (so it’s something you don’t have to think about)
vs dressing to impress
I’m not a fan of peacocking 🦚 but I would argue confidence comes from how you look
Get the look-good-naked bod in the gym or that exterior flare
I believe raises your confidence no matter what
Are you normally dress to impress like me
Or do you prefer the Mark Zuckerberg simplistic way of life
No right or wrong answer let us know below
People crack me up with this quote: "Oh, but you can shoot high video content on an iPhone." Like, enterprise companies are shooting T1 commercials on iPhones in the office. 😅😭😅
I personally believe that it's only a matter of time until creators can raise institutional capital too. The majority of our spend goes toward video production and marketing because, in the content game, you're competing with everyone else's free content that is well-polished and designed. To compete, you have to spend the money.
