They unpack the journey from being a YouTuber to co founding Influencer dot com and MVE, then evolving an informal angel club into Creator Ventures, a full venture fund backing consumer internet and creator economy startups.
The conversation dives into why creators make powerful investors, how syndicates work, what founders gain by having creators on their cap table, and why application layer consumer AI, voice translation tools, and products built on WhatsApp excite them.
Caspar reflects on moving from content creation to serial entrepreneurship, the importance of a learner mindset, collaborating with smarter people, and how creators should think about their first investments beyond property and pensions.
Sasha explains the opportunity they saw in 2019, lessons from oversubscribed deals like ElevenLabs and beehiiv, and what creators with million plus followers should consider before putting their YOLO money into startups.
