Hugo Amsellem
VP, Community at Jellysmack
Entrepreneur, investor, and writer Hugo Amsellem is at the forefront of the creator economy in many different aspects. In 2011 he co-founded a decentralized music label called oocto which helped independent musicians find success without record labels. From there he was part of the founding team of VC and accelerator The Family which funded and provided valuable mentorship to over 700 hundred founders across Europe, helping them raise over $1B in capital. Hugo has always been drawn to the rebellious nature of creators who bypass traditional gatekeepers like TV/film studios, record labels, and publishers to build successful businesses on their own terms. His passion comes through in his writings for armthecreators.com, medium.com, HuffPost, and others, as well as his weekly Clubhouse series “The Creator Economy.” In his current role at Jellysmack, Hugo is combining his startup experience with his creator economy enthusiasm as the head of the forthcoming Jellysmack Creator Accelerator.
