The actor and investor kicked off the second annual WeWork Creator Global Finals by asking the audience to think of unicorns not in traditional investment terms\u2014as companies valued at more than $1 billion\u2014but instead as \u201ca company that gives to its consumers, to its clients, something that unlocks the potential inside of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creator is intended to foster exactly this kind of thinking: They reward innovative business ventures and nonprofits not just for creating new markets and higher margins, but for originality of thought, depth of passion, and the meaning of their missions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-31433\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WeWork-Creator-Awards-Red-Hot-Chili-Peppers-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31433\"\/><figcaption>The Red Hot Chili Peppers get the crowd on its feet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a lot of that out there right now. In 2018, WeWork held Creator in seven countries, generating 36 regional winners. Eight of them\u2014five business ventures and three nonprofits\u2014were chosen to compete in the Global Finals, which were held last night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Kutcher served as a judge alongside rapper and entrepreneur Sean Combs, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/forerunnerventures.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forerunner Ventures<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> founder Kirsten Green, and entrepreneur and chairman of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vaynerx.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VaynerX<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Gary Vaynerchuck.

After the three Nonprofit finalists were introduced via video, the audience\u2014as well as those live-streaming the event at home\u2014were asked to vote on which organization should win the top prize of $250,000. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-31435\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WeWork-Creator-Awards-Global-Finals-1-Ashton-Kutcher-and-Sean-Combs-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31435\"\/><figcaption>Judges Ashton Kutcher and Sean Combs ask questions of the finalists at the WeWork Creator Global Finals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Business Venture competition was lively. The judges heard 60-second pitches from each of the five competitors before cross-examining them, testing their knowledge of the markets they work in and their visions for the future. The questions were varied\u2014and often pointed. \u201cTalk to me about the money,\u201d Combs urged Stephanie Benedetto after she had described her marketplace for unsold fabric, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.queenofraw.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queen of Raw<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asking the right questions was one of the most critical parts of the night for the judges. \u201cTen minutes to ask questions is a very small amount of time, so I think it&#8217;s on us to think about what are the most meaningful questions,\u201d Green observed before the show. \u201cThat feels like a lot of pressure!\u201d She proved her point by asking the UK-based <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/afrocenchix.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Afrocenchix<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> co-founder Rachel Corson to guide her through the line of all-natural products that Corson and her business partner Jocelyn Mate have developed for black and mixed-race hair.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-31436\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WeWork-Creator-Awards-Global-Finals-2.-Toma\u0301s-Abraha\u0303o-of-Rai\u0301zsjpg-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31436\"\/><figcaption>Tom\u00e1s Abrah\u00e3o, founder of Brazilian agriculture startup Ra\u00edzs, pitches his business to the judges.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaynerchuck was looking to the Q&amp;A portion to reveal the most about each company and its leader. \u201cIt\u2019s not what they pitch up front, but when I start poking a little bit,\u201d he explained. \u201cWhat are the reactions? Do they have a grasp of the second move of their business, not just the first?\u201d With that in mind, Vaynerchuk quizzed Tom\u00e1s Abrah\u00e3o, founder of Brazilian agriculture startup <\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.raizs.com.br\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ra\u00edzs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, about the intricacies of supply and demand in small-scale farming. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all of the seriousness of the night, there was also plenty of comic relief, especially from the judges. At one point Combs tried to get his hands on a prototype of finalist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modoo-med.com\/index.html\">Modoo<\/a>\u2019s fetal heart-rate monitor, detaching himself from his headset mic in the process, and ended up briefly sharing Kutcher\u2019s instead, their heads pressed close together. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-31437\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WeWork-Creator-Awards-Global-Finals-3-Afrocenchix-co-founder-Rachel-Corson-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31437\"\/><figcaption>Afrocenchix co-founder Rachel Corson explains the inspiration behind her line of all-natural hair-care products.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI hope my breath is fresh,\u201d Combs said.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI want my breath to smell like yours,\u201d Kutcher responded. \u201cI want to invest in that breath. That is unicorn breath.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When all the presentations (and the high jinks) were over, it was time to announce the winners. Wang Fang earned her nonprofit <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpangel.org.cn\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angel House<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $250,000, which will help fund a building to house their programs educating and caring for children with cerebral palsy in Fang\u2019s native China.&nbsp;In the Business Venture category, second-runner-up Afrocenchix took home $180,000 to help expand its product line and scale its production into the U.S., while Ra\u00edzs netted the first-runner-up prize of $360,000 to continue making connections between small organic Brazilian farmers and local consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-31438\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WeWork-Creator-Awards-Global-Finals-4-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31438\"\/><figcaption>The winners take a moment to celebrate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The big win went to Chloe Alpert and her startup, <\/span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medinashealth.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medinas Health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
