Barrett Thornton is a vice president at Alignment Growth who focuses on growth-stage media, entertainment, and gaming investments, while also bringing early-stage venture experience from Nimble Ventures that covered AI, Internet of Things, and developer tools—giving him an uncommon perspective across both technical infrastructure bets and taste-driven consumer media opportunities. His bi-coastal network spans LA entertainment, SF tech and AI ecosystems, and NY media and finance circles, while he operates as both a traditional VC and family-office-style investor who can connect founders to institutional and flexible long-term capital sources.
