• Maisie Williams, known for her role as Arya Stark in "Game of Thrones," has co-founded a startup called Daisie, a social media platform that aims to connect creatives and help them collaborate on projects. The platform has raised $2.5 million in funding, which Williams believes can solve a major problem in the entertainment industry – the lack of accessible opportunities for aspiring artists and creators.
• Daisie is designed to be a "new route into the creative world," allowing users to showcase their work, connect with like-minded individuals, and collaborate on projects. The platform has attracted a growing community of creatives, including filmmakers, musicians, and visual artists, who can use Daisie to showcase their skills, find collaborators, and potentially land job opportunities.
• Williams, who has experienced the challenges of breaking into the entertainment industry firsthand, believes that Daisie can empower a new generation of creators by providing them with a platform to showcase their talents and network with industry professionals. The startup's success highlights the growing demand for more inclusive and accessible pathways for aspiring artists and creators to navigate the often-competitive world of the creative industries.
