I’m excited to announce that I’ve joined Collaborative Fund as a Venture Advisor. Collaborative supports creative entrepreneurs who want to change the world and make it a better place.  In other words, they look to invest in for-profit/for-good startups with a focus on Collaborative Consumption. Some of their portfolio companies include Kickstarter, Taskrabbit, BankSimple, and Skillshare.

I’ll still be spending the majority of my time building and growing Skillshare but will be working alongside Jessica Jackley (Kiva/Profounder) as an Advisor with my primary focus on New York City. My time will be split between advising portfolio companies on product and investing in my peers & colleagues that are creating amazing things to make the world a better place.

I’m excited to work with Craig Shapiro (former President of GOOD) who is someone that I admire greatly, and to formally work with Rachel Botsman who has been a personal mentor for years.  And even more excited to support and grow other companies creating world-shaking change.  I’ve always believed in the power of entrepreneurship & creativity to create real lasting positive change and feel truly blessed to help other remarkable entrepreneurs do the same!

Collaborative is currently also looking for an “apprentice” so please apply if interested.
