I’m Danielle.
Founder of cliveRd. I have been fascinated by the intersection of art and technology since I can remember.
I was one of those ever so fashionable triple threat child actors. I got my first professional agent at 14 years old for acting and 15 for dance. I interned at my first production studio at 16 and though I have taken a detour through the world of finance (corporate finance, FinTech then VC) I never stopped loving storytelling. If anything I think my storytelling has enhanced my work in finance and vice versa. Through cliveRd. I am using my additional experiences in finance and tech to support technologists and filmmakers as they tell stories about our diverse society and the technology that supports it.
We partner with technologists and filmmakers telling stories about a non stereotypical future (some founders mentioned below). Having only been around since 2023, we have produced two proof of concept shorts, and launched a pitch competition for diverse storytellers, which is now in its second year. We believe creatives are a synonym for Founders. We seek to maximize the synergy between filmmakers and technologists, as we need both to build a more compassionate future.
