Gold House

✨ Celebrating 6 Years of Gold Impact with Vanity Fair! ✨ From a team of volunteers to an industry-defining force, Gold House has spent six years forging cultural excellence and socioeconomic progress for the Asian Pacific community. Here’s how we’ve made an impact together: 🎬 In Narrative Change: we’ve deployed industry-leading research, consulting, investments, and promotion on 400 major media projects, including Everything Everywhere All At Once (the most-awarded film in history!), to ensure affirming mainstream portrayals. Our Creative Equity Fund has invested in 15 films and 2 animation studios, including the award-winning Dìdi (弟弟), to greenlight more authentic stories. We’ve now expanded our expertise into journalism, advertising, gaming, and food. Through our partnership with OpenTable, we launched the Gold Chef Prize, and brought South Indian flavors to the Prabal Gurung creative-directed Gold Gala with a menu curated by Culinary Directors Padma Lakshmi and Michelin-starred chef Vijay Kumar of Semma and Unapologetic Foods. 💰 In Economic Empowerment: With Gold House Ventures, we’ve invested in 78 companies, our startup accelerator alumni have raised $2 billion, and we’re proud to power the largest top Asian Pacific founder network in North America. With Gold Bridge, we’re connecting Asia and North America for investment and collaboration. Anchored by Gold Prix during Singapore F1 week in partnership with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), we gather 200 founders and creators to explore Southeast Asia’s market, which is projected to reach $1 trillion by 2030. And on the success of our first fund and global reach, we’re now raising Gold House Ventures II. 🤝 In One House: Partnering with leaders like the Sundance Institute, East West Bank Foundation, and leading multicultural organizations, we have advanced collaboration and capital for diverse filmmakers – with collective convenings during mainstream awards and a first-of-its-kind One House Filmmakers Fund – and reshaped corporate power by securing more than 60 publicly-traded and privately-held Board Director positions. As our full-time Team, Fellows, volunteers, Membership, and network grow, Gold House’s work will continue to power tomorrow for all. Learn more about how we can collaborate and how you can join the movement at goldhouse.org.  We're not waiting for a seat at someone else’s table; we’re building our own house. 🔗: goldhouse.org/vanityfair Photography: Huy Doan | Editing: @p_t_gibson

An estimated $2-4 billion annually is left untapped by not investing in Asian Pacific stories. Gold House's recent GOLD PAPER underscores the tremendous business potential of elevating Asian and Pacific Islander narratives. Beyond the numbers, we in the community know that countless stories have yet to be told. With AZN AMERICANA, I have had the privilege of meeting incredible Asian women and femme filmmakers, like Elizabeth Ai Lynn Kim Do Tiffany Pham Roxanne Lim Nova, to name a few. So far, the general population has witnessed the trailblazers and blockbusters who have paved the path for us thus far, and I am so excited for the rest of the world in these coming years to experience what has felt so clear to me with this new wave of storytellers.

Prabal Gurung, fashion designer, Gold House board member, and CFDA Vice Chairman, has written a book! Entitled WALK LIKE A GIRL, the memoir dives into his upbringing, how the women in his life influenced his views on the patriarchy, and his American dream. We are absolutely floored to see Prabal, a pillar in our Gold House family, tell his story in this vulnerable and powerful book, and we can't wait for everyone to dive in.

Did you know Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders hold less then 3 percent of executive positions in Fortune 500 companies? This is according to Gold House's Gold Paper 2024 report. GOLD PAPER is a curation of historical context, survey data, and industry expert insights examining cultural familiarity, stereotypes and misperceptions, and representation and visibility of Asian Pacific communities in the U.S. For the first time, Gold House has consolidated the latest research from leading institutions and dives deeper to uncover new insights through our inaugural Gold Paper Survey: Perspectives on Asian Pacific Communities and Cultures. Combined, we extend thought leadership in key cultural industries where Asian Pacific communities have increased recognition over the past several years: 🌟 Film and TV 🌟 Advertising 🌟 News Media and Journalism, and 🌟 Corporations and Start-ups. Gold Paper has been a labor of love by our incredible research team. Oftentimes, conversations around representation live in the abstract, the emotional, and the personal truth. Gold Paper is a new public data source to support the future of our communities. We hope that Gold Paper can help everyone, not just our Gold family, power tomorrow for all.
