| Introduction | Ron Thompson is Managing Partner and co-founder of Dallas-based Invest Creative, the groundbreaking venture fund capitalized by creatives and invested in creatives. Dubbed a 'creative capitalist' by industry observers, his approach for investing in public good projects has been called 'renegade'. He raises money not as a venture capitalist or a nonprofit fundraiser but, as an adman. Thompson's investments in the creative culture cross all sectors including the visual, performing, cinema, literary, education, and communication arts. But, his heart lies with his fellow graphic designers. His network of private label design firms has become the definitive go-to for both capital development and stakeholder relations for socially conscious companies. These teams provide the infrastructure, the resources, and the capital for all his ventures; while they simultaneously raise the profile of all designers in their communities as entrepreneurs, investors, and philanthropists. |
