Adrienne Jan
Founder and CEO at Desination Digital
We like to invest early, are often the first investor in many of our companies. In addition to our investment we offer access to high quality talent, and work with our portfolio companies to bring on additional capital from the right investors when the time is right.
Our portfolio companies also benefit from access to our entire extended mentor network, free workspace at our Venice campus, and a variety of free or highly discounted services including hosting, legal, banking and more. We like to get active, are very hands on, and are dedicated to seeing our companies succeed.
Our roster of mentors includes many prominent leaders from across the LA technology, entertainment and media industries. Rather than populate our mentor list with flashy names and titles, we carefully invite experienced operators, strategists and executives who can devote their time and expertise to Amplify companies. Like everything at Amplify, our mentor program is flexible – Amplify mentors support our companies in a variety of ways from meeting up for coffee, making introductions, or on occasion, joining the company as a formal advisor or executive.
