I'm Karine. I'm the Founder of Slope, a hybrid creative agency + venture firm I started with my partner Jeffrey in 2019. We help companies tell their stories with brand, design, and marketing.
📍 SF | LA | Korea ☀️
I’m a founder, marketer, and startup builder - living playfully + authentically as my unique self. ✨
I believe storytelling and creative is the best way to inspire people to see the world differently.
Through Slope, I’ve the incredible opportunity to partner + build beloved brands for 200+ companies. I currently lead our BD + partnership efforts, venture investments, and digital marketing side of the agency.
Select clients:
In early 2023, I also co-founded Assembly, tools helping marketing teams scale organic content, a product I’ve always wished I had as a marketer. 200+ startups and agencies like Modern Animal, Mercury, Beehiiv, and Astranis use Assembly to scale marketing through content.
I invest personally and through Slope Fund. I love supporting founders, and am particularly interested in the future of creativity, commerce, wellness, and VR/AR. Founders usually come to me to think through all things brand, marketing, and GTM.
I believe deeply in founders that work on companies that align with their values and can proudly call their life’s work.
For fun, I’m learning Korean (with aspirations to grow Slope Asia), consuming a lot of K-dramas and K-pop, and brainstorming fun concepts on how to bridge US and Asia. Also thinking a lot about yogurt, snacks, and badminton. 😊
