Confession

We underpaid our creators.

Almost every brand does. The top 10% of creators bring 78% of the views.

Why now

UGC is booming, but the best creators have hit a ceiling.

Brands now spend 3x more on creators than in 2021. Yet the average price of a UGC video fell from $356 to $180.

Mission

We think everyone should own a product one day, and we're starting with UGC creators.

Even the best of them rent out their skill for capped pay while someone else keeps the upside. We're building the next step for UGC, where the people who make the videos actually own the product and we handle everything technical.

This time, they keep the upside.

Why us

We've built the products and run the UGC campaigns that grew them.
