We were barely 3 minutes into a recent livestream conversation with Blaine Mathieu—Founding 500 member, former Gartner analyst, seasoned tech executive, global speaker—and I knew we have to do more experiences like this.
Not rehearsed events. Not long form posts. But real conversations anchored in two or three topics that bring talented people together for meaningful conversations you cannot get in a Slack thread or LinkedIn comments exchange. We’re starting with verified LinkedIn connections and taking those relationships and relevant topics to the next level with Creatorbase Meet & Greet events.
Meet Blaine Mathieu
Blaine has spent decades at the intersection of technology and business transformation. He's counseled enterprises as a former Gartner analyst and more recently as an advisor, led key business functions across tech startups, and spoken to audiences around the world about AI and business reinvention. He's currently finishing a new book written for line of business executives navigating how agentic systems will transform how work for value creation gets done.
Watch the 2.5-minute CreatorTalk excerpt below from our May 21 Meet & Greet event. If you join as a member (paid Founding 500 or free Brief plan), the complete recording is waiting for you inside the community.
The Co-creators Way in practice
Blaine used the word "flywheel" to describe what he sees happening inside the Creatorbase community and here with media assets like this one: the more engaged members are, the more value everyone gets, which attracts more high-quality members, which creates more value. Momentum builds on momentum.
That's the intention behind the Co-creators Way—our point of view that co-created value is exponentially greater than what any one person can deliver alone. It's designed with four, action-oriented core values that build on each other:
Repeat and make adjustments as needed.
The Creatorbase team is organizing its B2B community and media organization in two ways, simultaneously. Every Founding 500 member belongs to the full community—that's universal by design, because some of the best ideas emerge at the edges of disciplines. But we're also structuring deeper engagement around eight core business domains that are generalized for any type of business:
The Co-cre8 domains we’re organizing around in the Creatorbase Community and with editorial decisions are small engines for the overall flywheel effect. And to power them, we're actively seeking business domain moderators—experienced members from across regions and industries who are ready to lead Co-cre8 initiatives inside their chosen domain. That means shaping stories and media assets, curating and hosting events, facilitating guided learning and virtual instructor-led sessions, and bringing your expertise into advisory conversations for creating Big-C impact and outcomes that matter.
If you've ever wanted a leadership role that fits around your existing career rather than requiring you to leave it or invest a lot of time, Creatorbase moderator roles are something you should inquire about after being approved as a Founding 500 member. There are several benefits to being a business domain moderator for your region of the world.
Blaine gets this intuitively. It's part of why a conversation with him doesn't feel like an interview—it's a working session between co-creators and respected peers.
Meet & Greet events happen roughly every two weeks via Creatorbase Community livestreams. They're free to attend and open to current members. It's one of the best ways to experience Creatorbase before deciding to upgrade to a Founding 500 paid membership.
