Steven Galanis: Cameo
Steven Galanis is the co-founder and CEO of Cameo. Cameo is a video-sharing platform that allows celebrities such as Snoop Dogg, Caitlyn Jenner, Carole Baskin, and over 40,000 others, to send personalized messages to fans, such as birthday shoutouts, congratulations, and more.
The company has seen a meteoric rise since launching in 2017, so we were excited to sit down with Steven to see what it’s all about. We talk about everything from Steven’s upbringing and various entrepreneurial ventures leading up to Cameo, the biggest takeaways from his experience working at LinkedIn, the skills he gained early in his career that helped his development as a leader, his timely advice for entrepreneurs, and what sparked the idea that ultimately became Cameo.
Steven also shares how they were able to acquire top talent early on, the importance of founder-market fit, their innovative pricing model that allows celebrities to capitalize on their fame while providing value for their users, and how he sees the ever-changing social media landscape as a farm system for Cameo.
