Other Republic investors are noted for their broader contributions to the startup and investment worlds.

Chamillionaire, the Investor
Noted rapper and entrepreneur Chamillionaire spent the last decade-plus in the tech space. He founded Convoz in 2017 after he was unhappy with other social media channels. Formerly an Entrepreneur in Residence at UpFront Ventures — one of the largest early stage venture firms in Southern California — Cham (as CEO) and the Convoz team built a video-centric platform that aims to be "the place where you go to talk to people.”
Chamillionaire is no stranger to Republic. Last December, Republic, Chamillionaire, E40, and Shark Tank’s Daymond John partnered to find and invest $100,000 in an underrepresented founder’s company via the “$100K Convoz Pitch Competition.” Convoz hosted the competition and saw nearly 1500 pitch entries from female and minority founders. The competition concluded with ten finalists being selected alongside one grand prize winner, Fleeting Pro. (You can find more about the winners here.)
