Creator Fund Empowers Boating Community to Build Profitable Brands
.@slow creator fund backs deep communities with real-world products. We just backed America's most trusted boating group: Center Consoles Only (CCO) Alan Blanco started making boat review videos in 2016. Today, he and the team operate three businesses under their holding company: > CCO Media: 1.5M followers, the most trusted voice in center console boating > Orion Boatworks: their own boat brand, already doing millions in revenue > BoatsOnly: a (much needed) modern, social, and community-powered alternative to legacy listing platforms Alan Blanco and team did all of this profitably before raising outside capital
