About

Next 10 Ventures, founded in 2018 by former YouTube executive Ben Grubbs, is a venture firm dedicated to the global creator economy. Headquartered in Los Angeles and Singapore, the firm focuses on early-stage investments and incubation of businesses within the digital content space. With a $50 million fund, Next 10 Ventures supports startups that offer tools and services for content creators, such as GoMeta, which helps design interactive experiences, and SuperBam, a digital rights management firm. The firm’s average investments range from $250,000 to $500,000. Next 10 Ventures specializes in creator-driven businesses in areas like education, entertainment, and entrepreneurial ventures. Their investment strategy targets creators looking for long-term growth, avoiding short-term "money-grab" opportunities. The firm also provides substantial operational support, including crafting business models for creators, many of whom lack formal plans. The team, including hires like Lauren Schnipper, formerly of Facebook, is spread across key creative hubs like Los Angeles and Singapore, with plans to scale in regions with high creator activity. The firm looks for creators who fit into categories such as artists, entrepreneurs, and educators, while prioritizing sustainability and community impact​.
