I help media and creator-economy leaders decide what to build next — and how to turn an audience into a business. Keynotes, workshops, and advisory.
I'm Jason Nellis. I was at Hulu when streaming was still a legal gray area, co-founded a company Facebook bought, and ran product where AI meets creator IP. These days I lead innovation at BoltOS and am building Akaeon. The early, unnamed, is-this-even-a-business part is the part I'm good at.
A keynote, a day with your leadership team, or a longer engagement. Same operator either way.
Built from things I built rather than things I read. For conferences, industry summits, and executive offsites that want a point of view instead of a landscape tour.
See the talks → WorkshopYour AI roadmap, your go-to-market, or how you make money from an audience. Your leadership team in the room, a decision on the table by the end of it.
Ask about a workshop → AdvisoryFor founders who need one person in the room with no position to protect. I sit next to you in the meetings that matter and stay on the phone in between. Fixed fee, first call free.

Nearly twenty years of building from the inside — mostly on things that didn't have a category yet.
Started in content partnerships — strategy for accounts from the White House to NBCUniversal — and moved into product and growth as streaming scaled. Learned the distance between a good idea and a product people will actually use, and got a permanent taste for building at scale.
Co-founded an influencer monetization startup, acquired by Facebook. Built Facebook Live Shopping in the Commerce org, then moved to NPE to build and launch Super. Became the team's first Founder in Residence.
Built the product org from the ground up — creator IP protection, monetization infrastructure, an AI deepfake takedown system. Later stepped into the interim CEO seat.
Act four is already underway — leading innovation at BoltOS, building the product infrastructure that turns creator and brand relationships into revenue, and co-founding Akaeon, an early-stage media and events company.
