ICYMI: Investing in Celebrities like Lady Gaga - Nicole Quinn, General Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners

ICYMI (in case you missed it) features some of our favourite moments from earlier STIMY episodes. Back in Episode 79, we met Nicole Quinn: General Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners aka the "Celebrity Whisperer". Nicole led the Series A in Cameo and Lady Gaga's Haus Labs and seed rounds in Girlboss, Illumix and Sagely. She also invested in the Series B in Calm and Series C in Goop and sourced Rothy's and Zola. Here, Nicole Quinn shares how she did her due diligence on Lady Gaga as a potential investor by measuring her "engaged followship" & what it's like working with her, as well as how one separates the "celebrity" from the company.
