As Founder of JTA Ventures, he advises high-profile creators, family offices, government entities, and emerging startups across Europe, the Middle East, and the US. He co-founded a creator-led micro fund with Julius Dein, whose content has surpassed 50 billion views, positioning Josh at the forefront of capital, influence, and digital innovation.

Through this fund, Josh has invested in more than 20 venture-backed startups across AI, media, and consumer technology, including one successful exit. He has advised leading global creators and entrepreneurs in their transition to Dubai’s booming creator ecosystem, working closely with government-backed initiatives such as the $40 million Creator Economy Fund. His efforts have attracted top-tier talent and investment to the region, earning him the UAE Golden Visa in 2025. The fund has co-invested alongside major family offices, tier-one venture firms, and prominent angel investors, leveraging Josh’s access to elite international deal flow.

At BRIDGE Summit, Josh will explore how creators are evolving into economic power brokers, why capital now follows culture, and what the convergence of influence, technology, and entrepreneurship means for the next wave of global business opportunities.
