About “The Start-Up” With Monique Loré, Two-Time Emmy Award-Winning Producer
The Start-Up is a premier media platform dedicated to elevating business founders, innovators and inspiring brand stories across industries. Spearheaded by Monique Loré Stinson, “The Start-Up” continues to foster strategic partnerships and empower entrepreneurial excellence. Shows dating from 2019 to the present can be heard and viewed across Facebook, Substack, YouTube and Spotify.

Monique Loré Stinson is a native Angeleno and two-time Emmy Award-winning producer, as well as the founder of The Wine Caterers, Silicon Beach Coffee Co., Cap Aquarius Media and Latchkey Kid Films. With a deep passion for entrepreneurship, Monique specializes in building startups that intersect with brand partnerships in Hollywood’s influencer and awards-show ecosystem.

Monique began her career in 2000 in reality television casting, working as a casting recruiter on the dating show Love Her or Lose Her alongside longtime friend and colleague Sam Rhima. She later worked with casting directors Jacqui Pitman and Kalissa Miller on MTV hits such as Dismissed and Next, eventually transitioning into producing and earning two Daytime Emmy Awards for her work on Christina’s Court.

Her entry into documentary filmmaking began unexpectedly in 2018 after a chance meeting in a Las Vegas airport lounge with James Rideout, uncle of Jacqueline Salyers. Inspired by the #Justice4Jackie movement, Monique committed herself to helping share Jackie’s story.

When the COVID-19 pandemic halted traditional production, Monique took an unconventional approach to filmmaking, traveling to 20 cities across the U.S. in 2020 and later to more than 40 countries during the global pandemic to create an independent documentary trilogy. The trilogy includes The Pandemic Project Documentary, The Pandemic Film and The Endemic Project Documentary. The trailer for the first film has earned 10 awards and nominations, and The Pandemic Project Documentary is now streaming on Vimeo.

Monique also studied at Pepperdine University’s Graziadio Business School, further developing her leadership, strategic and entrepreneurial foundation.

In addition to her film and business ventures, Monique has hosted “The Start-Up” on LA Talk Radio for seven years and has interviewed more than 300 entrepreneurs, innovators and creators. Her conversations spotlight diverse perspectives and amplify the voices of emerging and established leaders.

With a portfolio spanning media, production, wine, coffee, books and startup innovation, Monique brings a grounded, humorous and entrepreneurial spirit to her work. As she continues to expand her ventures, she remains committed to helping others bring their visions to life.
