another investment from the creator fund! @manufacturerrrr is on a mission to change textile manufacturing, one of the oldest, most opaque industries in the world

[Will Lasry @manufacturerrrr]

Couldn't be happier with the team behind us. @mmlightcap and @lessin have been incredible. We are one step closer to changing one of the oldest industries in the world.

.@slow creator fund backs deep communities with real-world products. We just backed America's most trusted boating group: Center Consoles Only (CCO)

Alan Blanco started making boat review videos in 2016. Today, he and the team operate three businesses under their holding company:

> CCO Media: 1.5M followers, the most trusted voice in center console boating
> Orion Boatworks: their own boat brand, already doing millions in revenue
> BoatsOnly: a (much needed) modern, social, and community-powered alternative to legacy listing platforms

Alan Blanco and team did all of this profitably before raising outside capital

The future of marketing is buying creators/media properties

Yoni said it better than I could have

[yoni rechtman @yrechtman]

Elon's imminent Mega Co is basically the same principle as @mmlightcap's / @slow's creator fund:

For certain entrepreneurs, discrete companies are intolerable constraints. The company structure puts them out of, rather than into, alignment with their capital partners. This is bad and requires new holding company approaches to capitalize and incentive their singular entrepreneurial abilities/assets.

For Elon it's his attention + capital markets access, for creators it's audience. Same basic principle.

Psyched for this Series B for @outtake_ai & @adylon7! I lead the original seed of Outtake & Slow is the largest holder of the company. Very bullish, very excited for Alex and team to have this new capital to go zoom 🚀

[yoni rechtman @yrechtman]

Megan and I have been talking about creator-led healthcare practices for as long as we've been working together.

This is an awesome bet on an extremely hungry creator and provider entrepreneur by @mmlightcap and the Slow Creator Fund.

Gonna be a huge PT business.

Physical therapy shouldn't wait for people to break. It should be proactive, whole-body care. We backed Tayla Cannon from our Creator Fund on her mission to make this happen. Incredibly excited about this one!
