Marc Andreessen, Paris Hilton, Sophia Amoruso, Molly O'Shea
Venture capitalist Sophia Amoruso launched Trust Fund, a $5 million public investment vehicle targeting B2B consumer-facing software to bridge the gap between technical founders and market narratives. The firm leverages a 506(c) structure to attract over 100 individual limited partners, including Mark Andreessen and Chris Dixon, while utilizing Amoruso's personal brand and guerrilla marketing tactics to differentiate its portfolio from traditional venture firms. Drawing on lessons from her Nasty Gal experience, Amoruso guides early-stage companies to prioritize ownership and sustainable growth over high valuations, aiming to transform complex engineering products into compelling consumer stories.

Lunch Program | Part 1: Well-being in the Digital Era
Louise Tabbiner, Deepak Chopra, Paris Hilton
Deepak Chopra and Paris Hilton explore the intersection of narrative psychology, business strategy, and holistic health, arguing that human perception is a constructed story and that chronic disease is largely driven by anxiety rather than genetics. The dialogue challenges the notion that rigid ambition guarantees success, proposing instead that aligning with one's higher purpose through the "Happiness Formula" and the "STOPS" meditation method yields greater fulfillment than mere hard work. Through this exchange, they illustrate how Hilton leveraged a 70-million-person social ecosystem to evolve from a celebrity persona into a $3 billion enterprise while advocating for compassion to counteract the loneliness of a hyper-connected society.
