This week’s episode features Bing Chen, a creator, entrepreneur, and media extraordinaire. By day, he serves as the Managing Director of a venture capital accelerator, as well as a Board Director and Senior Advisor to several of the world’s most promising digital media companies. He is also the chairman and co-founder of Gold House, a collective of pioneering Asian founders, creative voices, and leaders, known for its annual A100 list that honors the most impactful Asians and AAPIs in culture. Gold House spawned the viral #GoldOpen Movement that helped Crazy Rich Asians smash box office records last summer. #GoldOpen is currently being scaled up to ensure a successful opening for a wide range of creative projects within various New Majority communities. Prior to starting Gold House, Bing was the Global Head of Creator Development and Management at YouTube where he was one of the driving forces behind the creation of its Partner Program.
Bing has one of the most interesting perspectives on the ever-evolving entertainment industry. We speak with him about a range of topics from his identification as a third culture kid, to the power of niche audiences, to how Gold House gave birth to the #GoldOpen movement.
