Creatively, a jobs platform that allows creatives to showcase their portfolios digitally and offers collaboration tools, has raised $8 million in new funding, the company announced on Wednesday.
The latest seed round of investment includes contributions from Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman’s Thirty Five Ventures, Michael Eisner’s Tornante Company, Link Ventures and entertainment attorney Kevin Yorn (who reps Scarlett Johansson, Matthew McConaughey and Taika Waitiki and was named to The Hollywood Reporter‘s 2021 Power Lawyers list). The new investment will go towards boosting the New York-based platform’s product and engineering teams and growth marketing and data tools, as well as more quickly debuting a planned payment feature called CreativelyPay. (CreativelyPay offers same-day bank payments and can eliminate net 30-day payment terms for certain workers.)
