CONNECTION CATALYST, consigliere, & Chief manifestor of Magic
AKA: Genie & Mz. Izness
Nicole Casanova’s 1995 Masters was on Targeted Marketing on the Web and she was an early founder in three San Francisco startups, Homestore (Move.com), Lycos and Mypoints. All went public. All are still in business. From employee number three to a team of 2000+, overselling a $350k quota by $6.5 mil and negotiating one licensing deal that surpassed a decade’s worth of total revenue, she’s catalyzed rapid growth first hand.
Intrigued with behavior change, she created Shift, a game that shows people why they do what they do. With content from leaders like Marianne Williamson and Eckhart Tolle, Shift was sold in hundreds of stores, used in psychology practices, offered in workshops and as an online game with multi-player video chat. And, after working with clients from HP and Coca-Cola to Stephen Covey, she knows the best ways to change behaviors and make them stick - critical for developing the rock star entrepreneurial mindset.
She is a startup junkie that loves working with Digital, Tech, Media, Gaming, Advertising, LOHAS, socially conscious and women-led companies to uncover and execute on the lever points that will catapult them to success. As a mentor for numerous accelerators and startup studios like Boomtown and Mergelane, she found herself advising female founders. As founding partner of The Vinetta Project, she's helped tech's top female founders raise over $180M.
Nicole’s worked internal as an early founder or Interim CXO in numerous companies including one of the first online video providers, Mobilerider, a media buying agency, IMM, the first organic food delivery service, Mile High Organics, and even a biofeedback hardware provider, Wild Divine. More recently, she led a team at Interactions, the 17 year old leader in Conversational AI, building their AI voice enabled drive-thru program with the top restaurant chains, QSRs, and Fast Casuals. The largest Connected TV gaming company in the world hired her to build out their video content offerings by aggregating content for Roku, Amazon, Samsung, Sony etc. with the biggest influencers and content providers.
Nicole’s company, Casanova Ventures, uses their Art of Leverage Advisement and Connection Curation to catalyze some of the biggest businesses, lead the growth on cutting edge emerging technologies, and give the next leaders of our time the resources and relationships they need to make their biggest impact. Because of their access to unique deal flow, Casanova Ventures is often asked to source and vet technology for the largest corporations and investors and provide insights on market trends.
With The Conspiracy, Nicole has cultivated a network of other SuperConnectors who leverage their trust and access to amplify the next emerging technologies at the intersection of sports, advertising, music, media, gaming, eSports, influencer marketing and all things digital. That said, you can name an industry from Clean Energy to Fintech to Healthtech to Luxury Travel and Nicole has likely advised a handful of companies and has a robust network. She is industry agnostic and between her and her contacts, they can access everyone. After all, the wealth is in the network.
An all out advocate for serving rather than selling, she believes that when we cultivate great relationships we develop the best businesses. If you understand that the wealth is in the network, you'll totally get her message that Connection Builds Innovation.

The GrandMaster OF CULTURE & CODE
AKA: THE OG, Key Influencer, & DJ Rich Cacao
James Andrews is the culture.
He’s been a music producer (Nas, Destiny's Child, The Fugees), a serial tech entrepreneur who’s raised millions backed by investors like Fred Wilson and has had his exits. He founded one of the first social media agencies, brought brands like Comcast to uncover innovation through his Culture and Code work in cities from Detroit to Dubai and his venture studio brings the next startups to investors including NBA and Hip Hop artists. He’s called on by Silicon Valley’s VCs and Icons to demo tech and curate the creativity and culture through his vast networks. He brought the creatives to Clubhouse. With 2.5M followers, he curates the best rooms, whether that’s exclusive content breaking down the trends in tech and culture, the often celebrity and influencer-packed audiences, or when he’s spinning records in 12 languages as DJ Rich Caco. He knows everyone and Is loved by many because he does relationships and business like a real OG. Makes sense given Clarence Avant, The Black Godfather, was his mentor.
He created The Authenticated, our sister organization, as a community for the founders, funders and bosses impacting businesses and creativity in culture. The Authenticated are the heroes behind the scenes of every brand, movement, startup, artist, chef, vc firm, global city, rapper and influencer.
