GigaStar launches next gen funding experience for YouTube creators
GigaStar, a startup bringing Creators and Fans together as partners, announced that its next-generation marketplace launched in beta, offering YouTube Creators streamlined access to Fan funding, innovative Fan engagement, and potential long-term royalties.
Through Regulation Crowdfunding, YouTube Creators can list a revenue share offering to Fans on GigaStar Market. Creators can offer Fans a percentage of their YouTube channel's potential future revenue, in addition to special perks, transforming thousands of their Fans into strategic investors. Investors should familiarize themselves with the risks of loss, including liquidity risks, and the potential loss of their investment.
By leveraging blockchain technology, GigaStar has streamlined a traditionally complex process whereby YouTube Creators can monetize their future revenue through revenue share securities, which are digitally represented by Channel Revenue Tokens (CRTs).
Hazem Dawani, CEO, GigaStar: "We're empowering a new generation of Creator Economy entrepreneurs to engage Fans as active participants in their journey. We are thrilled to validate the market demand and prove the hypothesis of our business model; Fans are eager to invest in Creators and share their success."
GigaStar is the parent company of GigaStar Market, a recently approved member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and registered as a Funding Portal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
This news arrives on the heels of GigaStar's March announcement of a $4.8 million seed round which included DV Crypto VC, Tomsic Holdings, Nameless Ventures, and Belvedere Strategic Capital.
