Something important is happening in Los Angeles right now, and it doesn’t involve red carpets and Hollywood movie stars. Los Angeles is quickly gaining ground as one of the most rapidly growing technology ecosystems in the country.
The place of mainstream celebrities in startup economies continues to evolve with the changing startup ecosystem. It seems that these influencers will no longer be entrepreneurs themselves but prefer to be founders of VC funds instead. However, one thing is for sure—the presence of the startup community has deeply penetrated mainstream entertainment.
Hollywood and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has also been actively contributing to and supporting startup companies. Chopra set herself apart from other celebrity investors by building a reputable portfolio with her manager, Anjula Ancharia.
Hollywood will hopefully continue using its global audience to spread the word about startups and legitimize them further. With any luck, it will broadcast the disruptive efforts of Silicon Valley’s innovators, encourage the abandonment of outdated paradigms, and further foster meaningful technological change in all aspects of our lives.
Right now, the world is opening back up. So we’re throwing an Epic Sprint Pitch Drive to celebrate, says Founder Institute Alumnus, Chaste as he plans to connect his team with CJ Johnson, who recently announced on Twitter as follows:
“I’m happy to announce that I will be joining the Silicon Valley chapter of the Founder Institute as its newest Impact Venture Partner!
@founding is the world’s largest pre-seed accelerator! As an Impact Venture Partner, I will be sharing resources, opportunities, and tips for all of you badass entrepreneurs and business leaders of tomorrow.” – CJ Johnson
It was serendipity when they joined a handful of 25 startups that graduated from Founders Institute. Now Padbanque.com Managing Partners Chaste, Roxanne, and Tosin embark on a “Pitch for Purpose Drive” to Hollywood and Silicon Valley from July 24 to July 29, as announced via the founder’s Twitter account, twitter.com/charitychaste.
Beyond the “Art of Pitching” to Hollywood’s Ashton Kutcher; the American actor, who starred in “Dude Where’s My Car?” has backed startups like Airbnb, Bebo, and Box, they also plan to pay a courtesy visit on Silicon Valley Bank , Twitter , Facebook, Launch House, Mayor of Los Angeles and meet Celebrity comedian Ellen Degeneres and her actress wife, Portia de Rossi, who have invested in Petaluma-based Miyoko’s Creamery, accelerating growth in the plant-based food market, hopefully they can attract investment in their plant based organic period product for their Sanicle Brand and appear on ellentube.com. These are moments to celebrating their ‘own Adeo Ressi’ Founders Day with other startups in the bay area to work together in an intimate setting, over-the-shoulder helping each other build and grow their business.
The Pitch drive will include Media Spotlight, Product Showcase, Product Test with Buyers, Camera Crew, Diary from the Event (Meeting People, Places and Profits), and doing community support syndicated on Padbanque’s YouTube Channel. There will also be a live office hours hosting inspired by Google for Startups and American Airlines.
“American understands the importance of keeping our customers connected throughout the travel experience, especially businesses that rely heavily on-air travel to succeed.”
Let’s open up partners to End Period Poverty with a vision to build a different type of organization. One that _places_ enabling global economic and social development ahead of traditional startup or business metrics; that _prioritizes_ individuals as the customer vs. the organization ‘paying the bill’; and that _is_ ruthlessly committed to solving significant challenges on The Continent. Even if that meant medium-term sacrifices, bending business and primal instincts, and working quietly in the shadows facilitating stories to be told in decades to come.
Similar to Google, we’ve taken a problem-solving and data-first approach to tackle big audacious problems, and nothing else seems more critical than our pursuit of the creation of 21 million jobs. Organic Period Contents and Period Box on the Continent over the next 21 years. So, in addition to seeking funding, we’re looking forward to the ongoing support we will receive in the form of mentorship, thought-partnership, and access to experts and services on this trip with a theme-based visit to Disneyland to showcase their box.
The trio vision captures a very specific — and opportune — moment in L.A. The sway of Twitter Spaces, Clubhouse, Tik-Tok celebrities and influencers has crashed into VC money. It’s at this meeting point where socially-Impact entrepreneurs hope to make a name for themselves and their nascent brand called sanicle that is currently on marketplaces like Cratejoy, Etsy, Amazon and Shopify with a Period Passport Book in the offerings.
