CoVenture partner Brian Harwitt says he immersed himself in the creator economy when his best friend and his brother's girlfriend both blew up on TikTok during the pandemic. He dined with Kerry this month as part of our "1 big meal" interview series.
Why he matters: Harwitt joined CoVenture, which provides debt financing to tech startups, in 2016 as its first employee. He met and interned with founder Ali Hamed in college and worked a stint at Guggenheim Partners.
Harwitt also has helped source deals for CoVenture's venture capital affiliate, Crossbeam. His media-related investments include Spotter, Wave Sports + Entertainment and Stem.
