Method
Slow Ventures, with offices in San Francisco, New York and Boston, raises a 60 million dollar Creator Fund in December 2024 led by partner Megan Lightcap with Sam Lessin, buying minority stakes of roughly 10 percent in the holding companies of established creators for checks of 1 million to 3 million dollars rather than funding platforms. The thesis is that a creator with a durable niche audience is a small media company with venture returns. Named portfolio creators in 2025 and 2026 press could not be confirmed against a source fetched for this file and are left out.
People: Sam Lessin, Megan Lightcap, Kevin Colleran
