Upstart Co-Lab profiled 3 of the investors in our Inclusive Creative Economy Strategy as part of our 2024 Report. They all believe in the power of investing in the creative economy to make money and do good.
Roy Swan, Director of Mission Investments at the Ford Foundation: “An investment in the creative economy is an investment in all of us, and Upstart’s new Inclusive Creative Economy Strategy is working to break down barriers, pioneering how we can uplift communities across America by advancing fair access to capital.”
Adam Levine, CEO, Toledo Museum of Art: “Innovation is at the core of what the Toledo Museum of Art stands for, and investing with Upstart Co-Lab at this stage is an example of those continued efforts.”
Jess Jacobs, award winning actor, writer & producer: “Investing in artists, designers and creative people is investing in a future that is more equitable, that is more just. Frankly, these are the entrepreneurs who have the imagination to build the better world that we all want to be investing in.”
