Shail Mehta's The Last Gameboard, a digital tabletop game that rolled out through GameStop, and Kristen's Statusphere, which uses 250 data points and AI to match brands with influencers, both showed how founders and investors connect over working products.
The second founder who presented was Shail Mehta from The Last Gameboard, which is a digital tabletop gaming platform, which was a massive hit. They've rolled out nationwide in GameStops and were one of our early investments in Fund 1. So it was really cool to have Shail fly out from Denver, get to meet her for the first time in person, have her bring the game board. We had like our investors and our founders playing together on the game board, which was really special. And then also Kristen from Statusphere, which is basically like AdSense for consumer-to-consumer marketing. So if you think about the creator economy and how brands are leveraging influencer campaigns, basically Statusphere allows brands to build these campaigns at scale and uses a combination of machine learning and AI to best match influencers based on their profiles, like 250 data points that they fill out when they join the platform.
