"Over the past 6 years as a full-time creator, I’ve partnered and promoted over 600 brands. That’s over 600 brands that I’ve helped grow in a very small way. Angel investing is important to me because I want to be part of the growth and journey of other brands and I can also impact these brands within my social ecosystem and network. To date, I have angel invested in 20+ brands in CPG, fin-tech, real estate, hospitality and more."

“Karat showed a deep intuition for what resonates with consumers, and were capable of amplifying our reach to new audiences. We received our very first investment through Karat’s network, which soon led to our first funding round let by a16z’s Speedrun."

Why do creators invest in startups?

Startups are really risky. If you invest, you'll most likely lose your money. Why would you consider still doing it?

Build authentic relationships

Attend our events like Creator SharkTank for an opportunity to connect with top creators and founders who can grow your network.

A tiny chance of big wins

There's a very small chance of high financial upside. Think Ashton Kutcher or Beyonce, who made it big on Uber stock early.

Shape the future

Contribute to the growth of innovative ideas as you get to play an active role in shaping how a founder’s vision gets brought to life.

Past community events
