How almost every influencer becomes a VC eventually
Jake and Logan Paul are the frontrunners of doing this. Having started by doing pranks they have recently started their own VC and have been investing in startups on a constant basis. They call it the Anti fund. We have noticed that this seems to be a recurring them. A lot of influencers invest into startups and use thier influence to grow the branding.
Nelk boys, Adin ross, Logal Paul, Mr. Beastst all have something in common. They either invest into smaller companies or co found companies (like Prime Energy, kick.com, Beast Burgers and many others) and are all super successful in doing so. It seems this is a great way to do it.
Jake and Logan paul have gone so far as to partnered with a stanford Alumni to create a fund that investrs in early stage companies and acts just like a VC. The Antifund (Anti Fund focuses on early-stage investments and advisory in AI; robotics; software and high-growth consumer companies). They have been super successful, with Logaan Paul worth over $2BN (mainly due to prime energy drinks)
What to learn from this?
If you want to blow up. Become an influencer first.
