Performance-based creator marketing platform

A marketplace where creators produce ad content and are paid a fixed percentage of revenue only when their content drives sales.

Summary

Build a platform that matches e-commerce brands with creators, structures revenue-share (pay-per-sale) contracts, attributes sales to specific content, and automates payouts and reporting.

Problem

Brands face high upfront ad spend with uncertain ROI; traditional ads require cash up front and risk loss of spend.

Target customer

Direct-to-consumer and e-commerce brands (early-stage to mid-market) and content creators/influencers seeking performance-based pay.

Solution

Provide matchmaking, standardized revenue-share contracts, reliable conversion attribution (tracking links/UTMs/affiliate systems), analytics dashboard, and automated settlement so brands only pay when sales occur.
