Justin Kan on creator economy, shutting down Atrium, leaving San Francisco, mental health and Twitch



Talked to Justin about building his own media company (have you seen how active he is ALL OVER social media these days?), shutting down Atrium and his feelings about it. Ah, and Twitch, of course.

Atrium built software for startups to navigate fundraising, hiring, acquisition deals and collaboration with their legal team. Atrium has raised around $75 million in venture capital funding from firms like Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator.

In 2007, Justin Kan with Kyle Vogt, Michael Seibel, and Emmett Shear, started Justin.tv, which became Twitch, the popular video game streaming platform. On August 25, 2014, Amazon acquired Twitch Interactive for $970 million.

  1. why are there very few blacks in the tech space or the tech start up space? especially in silicon valley? How can we promote more diversity in silicon valley and how can we prevent discrimination of blacks in the work place?

  2. “Impossible Foods” is not an ethical company. Everything they make is highly GMO, and that’s bad news for people, earth, air and soil quality. Plus, the genetic ramifications are really not known long term.

  3. Can't know how I bumped onto this. All in all Damn good video ❤️. I also have been watching those similar from MStarTutorials and kinda wonder how you guys create these clips. MStar Tutorials also had amazing information about similiar make money online things on his channel.

  4. Justin meditating, twitch, wow it became a real company michael, wow 800m, wow Atrium, oh gosh services, pivoting did not work, learn to accept and let go, can always comtinue to do investing, now can focus on content, spend time first 3-4 hours talking with founders, rest talking with venture fund people and accountants, due diligence, and then the rest content creating and some other things.
