Why wait in line for hours when your dream interaction can happen in seconds? 

In today’s digital landscape, direct connections between fans and celebrities are more accessible than ever. Steven Galanis, co-founder and CEO of Cameo, is at the forefront of this shift. Launched alongside Martin Blencowe and Devon Townsend in 2017, Cameo is the leading marketplace connecting fans directly with tens of thousands of pop culture personalities in the form of customized video messages, video calls, and direct messages. Users can engage in real-time video chats with their idols, allowing for personalized, one-on-one conversations.

In 2021, Cameo achieved unicorn status and raised over $100 million in venture capital from some of the world’s top investors, becoming a notable addition to Endeavor Greece’s portfolio and leading Galanis to achieve Endeavor Outlier status.

With $2.4 million videos facilitated and over 1.5 million raised for charity through its Cameo Cares program, the platform is making a notable social impact. 

With Steven’s guidance, Cameo has earned accolades such as LinkedIn’s Top 50 Startups of 2021 and Goldman Sachs’ ‘100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs.’ Always pushing the envelope, Cameo continues to set high standards in personalized entertainment and enriching the Endeavor ecosystem.
