About

Aspirational weekly musings on consumer culture. This newsletter is penned by Li Jin, an angel investor and startup advisor who most recently spent 4 years as consumer investing partner at a16z. It features observations about the world through the

lens of startups and consumer tech.

I cover topics including:

- The Passion Economy: How people can make a living from their passions and creative skills
- Consumer trends & analysis: How macro trends are impacting consumers’ lives and work

What people say about my writing:

“Passion Economy pioneer” “The authoritative voice in the space”

“Essential reading for anyone building a community in the next 10 years”

“Not only beautifully written and analytically deft, but elegant, innovative, profound”

“The best thinker out there on the future of being a creator on the internet.”

“Li doesn’t just say the ‘what,’ but really sheds light and can express the ‘why.’ Her insights in consumer tech are unparalleled.”
