It’s great to connect with you again! For those just meeting you, give us a little background on your business and the role you play in the OnlyFans ecosystem.

If you'd told me a few years ago that I'd end up working with founders in the sexual wellness and creator economy space, I honestly would've thought you were joking. It definitely wasn't on my radar.

My background is in venture operations. I spent the last few years building and running operations for one of the UK's largest angel investor communities, and today I'm helping build Tabu Ventures as Fractional Strategic Operations Lead.

Along the way I realised something that really surprised me. Some of the most thoughtful, mission-driven founders I've met are building businesses in industries that people don't always take seriously at first glance. Once you spend time with the founders and the people they're building for, you realise they're solving real problems for real people.

My role is to help bring structure to the chaos behind growing businesses and communities. That's the part I love - building the systems, processes and experiences that let founders focus on what they do best.

We’re always curious—was your business a planned venture, or did it evolve naturally over time?

I've always been far more interested in the people than the industry itself. Long before I found myself working in sexual wellness and the creator economy, I was building operations for an angel investor community. I loved sitting alongside founders as they went from idea to investment and helping create the systems that made everything run smoothly behind the scenes.

Over time I realised something interesting. The industry almost didn't matter. Whether it was fintech, AI, climate or sexual wellness, the founders all had similar challenges. They needed someone who could bring structure, think a few steps ahead and build processes that could grow with the business.

That's what eventually led me to Tabu. Nicola and I connected through mutual contacts, and the more we spoke, the more I realised this wasn't just another venture community. It was a chance to help build something from the ground up in an industry that's often misunderstood but solving genuinely important problems. That combination of building, community and purpose was incredibly hard to say no to.

Why do you love being a part of this industry, whether on the creator or business side?

What excites me most is seeing good people build businesses that genuinely make a difference.

I love being the person behind the scenes who helps bring a bit of order to the chaos. Every founder reaches a point where there are simply too many moving parts, and I really enjoy figuring out how to make things simpler, more scalable and a little less overwhelming.

I also love that this industry challenges assumptions. People are quick to judge businesses in the sexual wellness or creator economy space without really understanding what they're trying to achieve. Once you get to know the founders and their customers, you realise they're solving real problems for real people, and that's something I can get behind.

At the end of the day, I'm motivated by helping passionate people build something sustainable. The industry is interesting, but it's the people that keep me here.

Tell us something quirky, funny, or totally unexpected about your business journey so far!

One thing that still makes me laugh is how quickly your "normal" changes. A few years ago, if you'd told me I'd be sitting in investor meetings talking about sexual wellness products, creator platforms or anal health, I would've thought you had the wrong person.

Now it's just another Tuesday.

The funny part is that once you spend time in these industries, you realise the products aren't actually the interesting bit - the people are. The founders are incredibly thoughtful, the problems they're solving are real, and the conversations become surprisingly normal, very quickly.

It's been a good reminder for me not to judge an industry by its headline. Some of the most mission-driven founders I've met are building businesses in spaces most people are too uncomfortable to even talk about.

In your opinion, what’s next for creators, agencies, and businesses working in this space?

I think we're going to see a shift from people chasing quick wins to building real, long-term businesses. The creators and founders who stand out won't just have a great product or great content - they'll have strong brands, loyal communities and businesses that can evolve as the market changes.

From my side, I'm also seeing much more collaboration than competition. Investors, operators, creators and founders all bring something different to the table, and I think the businesses that embrace that ecosystem approach will be the ones that thrive.

I think we're already starting to see these industries become more mainstream, and I hope that continues. The more conversations we have, the more people realise these businesses aren't just about headlines - they're solving genuine problems, creating jobs and building products that people want. That's exciting to be part of.

We’ve learned so much—let’s wrap with how people can find you, follow you, or reach out if they want to connect.

The easiest place to find me is on LinkedIn. I love connecting with founders, investors and operators who are building interesting things, especially in industries that challenge the status quo.

If any of this made you think, or you're building something interesting yourself, I'd genuinely love to hear from you. Whether you want to chat about venture communities, founder operations, the creator economy or simply swap ideas over a coffee, my inbox is always open. Some of the best conversations I've had started with someone simply saying hello.

And if you'd like to learn more about the work we're doing at Tabu Ventures, I'd encourage you to keep an eye on what we're building there too. It's an exciting journey, and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of it.

SPECIAL INTERVIEW

THE STIGMA ISN’T GONE. BUT SOMETHING JUST CHANGED.

Featuring: Jupiter Jetson, Marc Ellis and Maxine Doogan

JJ: I’m Jupiter Jetson, porn actress and brothel worker of eight years at Sheri’s Ranch until my abrupt termination in early February, when I was fired 24 hours after the corporate office received notice of voluntary recognition of the union I had helped organize in the face of incredibly exploitive new contracts. These contracts claimed full ownership of our power of attorney, our name/image/likeness, and any intellectual property using that name- past, present, and in perpetuity. After the Communications Workers of America (Local 9413) brought us in I realized just how much all sex workers could benefit from organizing. ME: My name is Marc Ellis. I’m the president of CWA Local 9413. The reason I’m involved and passionate about this is that I believe all legal work should be treated with dignity. Because of this our local was more than willing to help organize UBW ____ Not present for the interview: Maxine Doogan is an American sex worker, social justice and politics expert and advocate, documentarian, artist, author and media personality. For 30+ years, Maxine has regularly traveled across the U.S and abroad, providing erotic services, and working to protect and enhance the rights and conditions of sex workers. Maxine help found the Erotic Services Provider Union (ESPU), a labor rights approach sex worker rights group, the ESPLER Project which led a historic federal constitutional challenge to the anti-prostitution law in California, and Community United For Safety and Protection (CUSP), an Alaska based group of current and former sex workers, sex trafficking victims and allies, working towards the safety and protection for all in Alaska’s sex trade which also has a legal challenge to the state anti-prostitution law.

Pleasure, But Make It Frenshy Kitten

Featuring: MJ Frensham

I’m MJ, and I’m the founder of Frenshy Kitten, a South Australian intimate wellness brand. Frenshy Kitten started with a pretty simple idea. I wanted to create a brand where intimate wellness and pleasure could feel beautiful, fun, welcoming and completely normal. Somewhere people could explore what feels good for them, whether they’re discovering something for the first time or already know exactly what they love. We started online with our own range of intimate wellness products, but it’s become so much more than simply selling products. One of my favourite parts of what we do is actually talking to people. We hear their stories, what they love, what they wish existed, what they’re curious about, and we learn a lot from those conversations. And our customers are incredibly varied. We have women at completely different stages of life, couples exploring together, men shopping for themselves or their partners, and people from LGBTQIA+ communities who have their own experiences of pleasure and ideas about what they want from products in this space. We’re still learning all the time, and I think that’s really important. I never want Frenshy Kitten to assume we know what people want. I’d much rather ask them and listen. That’s actually shaping a lot of what we’re doing next. We’re expanding into lingerie, with inclusive sizing being really important to us, and we’re currently creating the Frenshy Kitten Studio here in South Australia. I’m incredibly excited about the Studio because it gives us the opportunity to bring what we’ve been building online into a real space, with intimate wellness, education, events and experiences, and the chance to connect with people face to face. Ultimately, I want Frenshy Kitten to be a brand where people feel comfortable talking about pleasure, exploring it and enjoying it. We definitely don’t pretend to know everything. I think listening, learning and growing alongside our customers is probably one of the most important things we can do.

SXhibition: Where Education, Entertainment and Intimacy Collide

Featuring: Belinda Gavin

Thank you so much for having me. I’m Belinda Gavin, the founder and director of SXhibition—Australia’s bold new intimacy, relationships, wellness and entertainment expo. I’ve worked across the adult entertainment, events and production industries for more than three decades, both in Australia and internationally. My background includes film and television, major expos, live entertainment, large-scale productions and some truly iconic events. From 2019 to 2024, I also led Sexpo Australia, which gave me an incredible understanding of what audiences, creators, exhibitors and industry professionals genuinely want from a modern event. SXhibition is the next generation of that experience. It’s louder, prouder, more inclusive and strongly focused on education, connection and reducing stigma. We bring together creators, performers, educators, health professionals, relationship experts and innovative brands in an exciting, welcoming environment. Our events combine live entertainment, seminars, workshops, product discovery, creator experiences, meet-and-greets and open conversations about intimacy, relationships, pleasure, sexual health and mental wellbeing. Features include our Main Stage, the SX ED education stage- sponsored by Stigma Health, Creator’s Lounge, Tantra Temple, Kinky Dungeon, interactive demonstrations, competitions and exclusive VIP experiences. For businesses and creators, SXhibition also provides a powerful platform to build visibility, connect directly with audiences, generate content, develop partnerships and grow within the industry. Ultimately, we’re not simply producing an expo—we’re creating a community and a movement. I want people to leave feeling entertained, informed, empowered and far more comfortable having honest conversations about intimacy, pleasure and wellbeing.
