A biography, filmed in one sitting
Founder Portraits is a long-form interview show. Ninety minutes with one founder, walking through how the company actually got built.
Every episode starts with real research, so the conversation gets past the version they’ve told fifty times. The decisions, the timing, the parts that nearly didn’t work.
Filmed in NYC. Hosted by Christianne. New episodes weekly.
How it’s made
A week of reading, timelines, and calls with early employees before the camera turns on. The questions come out of documents, not a template.
One sitting, one founder, chronological. Long enough that the rehearsed version runs out and the actual account begins.
A fixed room, controlled sound, two cameras. The look is consistent on purpose so the attention stays on the conversation.
A new episode every week, published in full.
Christianne spends the week before each taping reading, calling early employees, and building a timeline of the company. She hosts every episode and edits the research herself, which is why the questions tend to land where the story actually turned.
Based in New York.
