OWM IS LIVE: Make Creators Owners, now!
We launched the first influence-for-equity platform, hit major press, threw a wild NYC event, and we’re just getting started!

📔 Jeff’s Diary (yes I’ll let you read it)
"What we do in life echoes through eternity". I disagree. It echoes until you’re forgotten, because like your great-grandfather, you only remember the people you spend time with. It’s why I say, “You have to create a moment to create a memory.” Bringing people together is hard. Planning a party sucks, unless you love the look on people’s faces when they’ve met someone important, when they’re dancing out of their comfort zone, or they’re laughing their socks off because a magician just blew their mind.
I love throwing parties because I love bringing people together. Because you remember the moments that were out of the ordinary. It’s not where you’re at, it’s who you’re with, and this week, we brought together some incredible people. We delivered a product no one has seen before, in a novel space, doing something really freakin hard. And it was the wildest week of my life, but in the end, it was all worth it, because every story needs a beginning, and a great first chapter is why you stay to finish the book.
So if you’re building something, take the moment to bring whoever believes in you together. A dinner. A party. A coffee meetup. Connecting people with shared interests makes you sticky in their lives, and when the sands of time wrestle us to the ground, all we’ll have left are the people we enjoy spending time with and the memories we’ve had with them.

📆 WHAT WE WILL HIT ON THIS WEEK:
→ OWM officially launched: the first influence-for-equity platform connecting founders and creators. Book your demo with the founder of OWM
→ Press highlights: OWM featured across major media
→ Event recap: our first Owners Only event with panels, giveaways & one wild NYC night
→ Exclusive webinar: learn what OWM is all about + get the framework to start building with creators

OWM officially launched!
Every founder has a story to tell. Creators are the best storytellers. And when they believe so much in what you’re building that they’re willing to own a piece of it, that’s not marketing — that’s conviction, and that’s growth.
There are thousands of creators ready to invest their influence into businesses they truly believe in. And here’s the secret sauce: founders aren’t just looking for creators, they’re looking for customers.
⚡️ Want to see how it works? Book a demo and learn how OWM can help you grow with the right creator partners, or turn your influence into ownership.

Paid posts fade. Ownership lasts. That’s the story Sam Gutelle captured in Tubefilter this week.
Our mission is to make 100,000 creator owners! Creators aren’t just distributors, they’re builders. And when they believe in something enough to invest their influence, fans lean in.
Thanks to Sam for spotlighting how we’re flipping the playbook and giving the creator economy a path into ownership.
The Publish Press dropped “The Death of the Short-Term Brand Deal”.TL;DR: We’re swapping brand checks for brand shares. Founders pitch, creators post, equity on the cap table. Big thanks to Hannah Stocking for showing how it’s done! | ![]() |
Axios spotlighted our launch with an exclusive article by Kerry Flynn.“OWM is moving creators from paid posts to the cap table — giving them the chance to trade influence for equity and build alongside the founders they believe in”. |

This is what influence for equity means. Founders and creators coming together to build at our first Owners Only event.
The event was a statement. OWM is here to flip the script. To give founders access to the right creators. To give creators a real seat at the table. To make creators owners.
Picture this: the Carriage House in LES, packed shoulder-to-shoulder. Drinks flowing, fast-moving panels, lots of surprises, and zero fluff.
NYC launch night came with everything:
- Robbie belting the national anthem a cappella
- Bob’s Dance Crew pulling a surprise flashmob
- THC cocktails + rapid-fire panels
- Founders, creators, and investors turning quick convos into real connections
Biggest thanks to all our partners, sponsors, and friends who showed up big, giving away custom kicks, Meta AI glasses, football tickets, and an all-expenses-paid trip!
That night we gave away:
Luxury European stay up to $5,000 by Fora Travel and Auberge Resorts
All-expenses paid trip to Napa by hundred.
Oakley Meta HSTN Glasses, Meta
Custom kicks by Bob, full custom of Travis Scott Lows
2 tickets to the Giants vs. Raiders game in December plus all-access passes to legendary Pregame Masqueraid by Confirmed360

$5,000 membership by Different

Join live, ask questions, and see how founders and creators can actually win together, and how to use OWM to set up equity partnerships that put creators on the cap table.


Andy's here. Waiting to answer the questions you're afraid to ask in public (and yeah, he's actually NOT a paid spokesperson but our network of badass execs open to answering questions...for free).
Every week, Andy's ready to tackle the real shit that keeps founders up at night. No sugarcoating, no PC answers — just the truth.
Andy's sitting here with his mustache twitching, ready to drop knowledge bombs about creator equity that would cost you thousands with a consultant.
So drop your questions below. About valuations, term sheets, creator contracts, whatever keeps you up at 3am. The more uncomfortable, the better.
He loves this country and wants to bet on what makes it great – ownership and the generational wealth it creates.
He wants you to win, but he wants you to have fun doing it.
Got a question for Andy 😉? Drop it here — nothing is off limits. Trust us, he’ll GET the answer.

Found this valuable? Don't hoard the knowledge.
➡️ Follow me on LinkedIn for the unfiltered takes I can't fit in this newsletter.
➡️ Forward this to another founder who's struggling with creator partnerships. Ownership spreads one conversation at a time.
➡️ Need 1:1 guidance? Block time with me any Friday here. No pitches, just real talk.
