George Bonner is a product leader with 12 years of experience blending hands-on engineering, growth strategy, and creator-focused product work to drive measurable outcomes. He scaled Patreon's first paid add-on from 8 alpha users to ~150,000 paying creators and played a key role in redesigns and trust-and-safety features that protected millions in revenue. As a consultant, investor, and PM at Donut Shop Ventures he helps startups find product-market fit and teaches teams how to leverage AI to modernize PM workflows, and he now works on creator tools and AI at Meta. His background as a touring guitarist and music director for Grammy-winning artists—combined with being a National Merit Scholar—gives him a rare mix of creative leadership, technical rigor, and empathy for creator-led businesses. He’s particularly focused on responsible AI for the Creator Economy and mission-driven products in Education, Community, Safety, and Fintech.
