Creator is where Brands and Creators connect, collaborate, grow, and earn more revenue.

Our success is built on the premise that 92% consumers trust advice and opinions over any sponsored advertising. Most marketing teams don't have the time or resources to scale their Influencer strategy, that's where we come in.

Vinod Varma

I’m a founder & angel investor with 17+ years of experience across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the U.S. I’ve co-founded and managed 7+ companies  with 3 exits, 1 closed, and 3 still operating  and I advise technology startups worldwide on go-to-market strategy, fundraising, and scaling.

My journey spans four continents, from building and scaling startups from scratch to supporting the next generation of founders as a trusted advisor and investor.

I believe emerging markets especially Africa, MENA, South Asia, and Southeast Asia are some of the most exciting frontiers for innovation, and I’m passionate about building bridges between entrepreneurs, capital, and ecosystems


What I bring:

 🚀 GTM & Scale – deep experience taking startups from zero to growth across multiple markets.
 💰 Fundraising & Capital Access – proven ability to raise funds and structure growth.
 ♟️ P&L Leadership – hands-on operator with multi-sector, multi-region experience.
 🤝 Cross-cultural Management – lived and worked in Australia, South Africa, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Italy.

Beyond work, I’m a squash & padel player and sports enthusiast, a lifelong reader, and a student of Chinese language and Anapanasati meditation.

My mission is simple: help founders unlock their potential, connect ecosystems, and channel capital where it creates the most impact.
