- HUSSLUP
Participated · Seed · Dec 2022
HUSSLUP is a networked marketplace mobile app that connects creative talent in media and entertainment with companies looking to staff them. Its platform aggregates a large pool of qualified candidates searchable by specific criteria and enables instant vetting; it is currently available in an invite-only beta. The company reports over 4,000 creatives signed up, has facilitated 15,000 connections, and works with more than 40 studios, production companies and professional organizations. HUSSLUP's mission is to democratize and diversify access to the industry, and about 65% of current members self-identify as diverse in at least one category. The founding team is led by Founder and CEO H Schuster and CTO Alex Maghen, and the company completed the 2021 Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs accelerator powered by Techstars. It plans to use new funding to hire core team members, add more robust search and reporting features for production partners, increase marketing, and scale beyond the beta.
- Runner
Participated · Seed · Feb 2022
Runner operates a marketplace that matches startups with part-time, operations-focused professionals (called “runners”), each employed by Runner under W-2 classification. The platform launched with an explicit focus on operations roles and has around 200 runners on the platform today. Its business model takes a 25% cut of a runner’s hourly rate and charges a 10% recruitment fee if a customer hires a runner full-time. Before a waitlist model, Runner secured roughly 120 pilot customers at a $500,000 run rate; its app was set to launch on March 15, 2022. Founder Arlan Hamilton says the company aims to have 1,000+ runners by year-end averaging $40,000 each, a projection she equates to becoming a “half a billion dollar company.” Many current Runner executives first joined the platform as runners, and the company does not position itself as a DEI recruitment firm despite its leadership coming from historically overlooked backgrounds.
