Stu Smith is an SVP at Fullscreen, leading the company’s Creator Labs, Public Figures, and Creator Partnerships business units. Stu started his career in the music industry, serving as the personal assistant to John Mayer before working in artist management. In 2012, he transitioned to the startup space, serving as the Director of Artist Partnerships & Business Development at CrowdSurge (now Songkick) before joining Teespring and later Omaze. Stu is also an active investor; he and his brother Austin formed Coughdrop Capital in 2015 and have backed a number of early stage B2B and consumer tech companies.

In this episode, Stu shares his early experience in the music business before catching the startup bug. We talk about Fullscreen’s role within Warner Media and future growth strategy, and Stu provides some insight into his core investment thesis for early stage companies. Finally, we debate the outcome of the Epic Games vs. Apple battle royale and what the future holds for TikTok.

Host: James Creech
