built for the growing  creator economy

According to a Goldman Sachs 2023 report, the Creator Economy could roughly double in size, growing to $480 billion by 2027.

This increase is driven by two major factors: growing demand for user-generated content and increasing monetization opportunities. (globenewswire.com)
