## Resource

Collette Tibbitts spent years at the intersection of music and tech, consulting for Island Records and Sony Music Nashville and working on blockchain at Universal Music Group. She co-founded Joker Deck to back the founders venture capital has consistently walked past. We get into why music tech is a proving ground for innovations that expand well beyond the industry, how misaligned access and capital created an arbitrage opportunity that major labels can't fill on their own, and what it means to find the "joker in the deck" -- founders whose ideas are too cross-disciplinary to fit a traditional VC box. Through Joker Deck Ventures, Tibbitts is building a pre-seed fund at the creative-technical frontier, backed by an artist's instinct for what catches fire.
