Bio

Ashley is Director at CreativeCo, a growth equity studio. She is responsible for sourcing investments, leading IR, and fund operations. CreativeCo's mission is to provide two of the things that early-stage companies need most for growth - capital investment and product/engineering resources. Prior to CreativeCo, Ashley worked at Tesla when it was a startup for 7+ years. She built out many organizations, acquired and integrated companies, and launched new markets/countries. With this operational experience, she mentors entrepreneurs and also angel invests when the match makes sense.

About Investments

CreativeCo focuses on investing in B2B/Enterprise SaaS companies across the U.S. We invest at a specific revenue stage, when companies are around $500k-$1.5m in ARR. We look for annual growth >100%, net revenue retention >100%, strong ACV and a team that’s driven to build a big business. Our initial check size is $100K-$500K and we’re typically participating in a small syndicate of institutional investors for a $1-$5M pre-seed, seed, or series A financing.

How they work

CreativeCo's portfolio companies have access to our 50 person product studio team that provides differentiated/actual value-add as a shared resource platform. Access to proven engineering is very challenging and we can help mitigate this risk. Of course, using our studio team is not a requirement.

Please review this investor’s areas of interest, check size, and geographic constraints before making contact: you will have a much higher chance of success if your outreach is targeted.
