Last week, during LA Tech Week, we brought together some of the brightest minds shaping the creator economy for a night of connection, collaboration, and conversation. Our sold-out event was more than just a gathering — it was a celebration of what happens when creators, investors, and industry leaders come together to build something bigger.
A Day of Connection and Conversation
The day kicked off with an introduction to all our amazing sponsors introducing their work to our dynamic audience. This was a great start in helping build genuine connections. It then kicked off with a 45 minute panel featuring our amazing panelists. From established creators to emerging talent, investors, and brands, the room buzzed with energy. It was a space where creators could not only meet each other but also connect with key partners and decision-makers helping to shape the future of the industry.
Throughout the evening, attendees shared insights, swapped stories, and sparked conversations that will continue long after the event. The excitement was palpable — a clear sign that the creator economy isn’t just growing, it’s evolving.
Key Takeaways
- Creators Are Building Real Businesses
The conversations made one thing clear: creators aren’t just creating content — they’re building brands, communities, and companies. Access to the right financial tools and support is becoming just as essential as creativity itself. - Partnerships Are the Future
A recurring theme of the night was the power of collaboration. Whether between creators and brands or investors and founders, the ecosystem thrives when partnerships are authentic and mutually beneficial.
Access Opens Doors
Many creators shared how access — to resources, capital, and networks — can change the trajectory of their careers. Events like this are more than moments; they’re launchpads.
What’s Next for Bump
This event was just the beginning. As we continue to build Bump, our mission remains clear: empower creators with the financial tools, access, and opportunities they need to thrive.
We’ll be taking the energy from LA Tech Week and bringing it to future cities and events around the world. Expect more community-led experiences, deeper conversations, and even more ways to get involved.
