2021 First Look Retreat Keynote:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Conversation with Ben Gilbert

For the closing keynote conversation of Fika Ventures’ 2021 First Look Retreat, we were honored that Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ben Gilbert joined us for a conversation about authenticity, the creative process, and how Gordon-Levitt has applied his Silicon Valley experience to his own roles.

Gordon-Levitt, whose many talents include acting, entrepreneurship, and even gymnastics, co-founded HITRECORD with his brother a decade ago. HITRECORD started as a production company for the two brothers, and evolved it into an opportunity and outlet to share the creative process with a broader community. Driven mainly by organic growth, HITRECORD is now a venture-backed company that allows anyone to participate and contribute to a number of community creative projects, productions, and classes.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ben Gilbert discussed entrepreneurship, technology, and media at the Fika Ventures 2021 First Look Retreat

In this interview, Gilbert and Gordon-Levitt discuss growing HITRECORD, juggling competing roles, and maintaining good stewardship of technology and its impact on our culture and society.

Special thanks to Ben Gilbert, Managing Director of PSL Ventures and co-host of Acquired.
