In this brief interview, Speaker B reflects on the experience of partnering with Paige Finn Doherty and BGV as an early‑stage investor. Speaker B recounts how Neil introduced them, describes the immediate impression of Paige’s intelligence and deep grasp of the creator‑economy space, and notes that after their first conversation he urged his COO to secure Paige’s investment. He highlights that Paige’s insight was rare, comparable only to a few other meetings where investors truly understood the product, and mentions other notable backers such as Jason Calacanis. The exchange underscores Paige’s reputation as a knowledgeable, trusted early‑stage partner within the creator‑economy ecosystem.

Can you share a little bit about what it's been like working with me and BGV as an early-stage partner?
Yeah, for sure. So like you said, Neil introduced us and I still remember the first time that we chatted. Like, I immediately was like, oh my gosh. First of all, I was just like so impressed with how smart you were and like how much you just like got the space. And I remember right after we met, I called my COO and I was like, oh, like I, I want Paige to invest. Like, she's awesome. I think I've said this before, Jason Calacanis is one of our other investors. And there was only like 2 first meetings I've had where I felt like someone so intimately understood our product and asked like really smart questions.
And like our other investors are great.
And like they'll, I think they'll be the first ones to know they're just not as like deep into the category of like the creator economy and just in general as like you and Jason understood. So those were 2 meetings where that they really stood out to me where I right away knew that you would be a great fit.
