Creatorbase

Creatorbase

Independent product

Product thinking

Running a campaign with hundreds of creators should not mean building an operations team around every launch. I built Creatorbase around a simple bar: it should take about the same effort as running an Instagram ad. Creators should get paid directly, early and often. That meant treating campaign management and payments as one problem, rather than leaving the brand and creator to sort everything out between them.

Why I started Creatorbase

Why I started Creatorbase, who it serves and the creator monetisation problem behind it.

  • Product strategy
  • Creator economy

The problem it solved

Creatorbase aims to make creator campaigns as easy to run as an ad, with campaign management and direct creator payments in one workflow.

What I built

As solo founder, I handled design, development, marketing, community management and business development. I researched willingness to pay and customer pain points while developing the platform.

I built the first prototype at a hackathon, then used AI development tools and AI agents to build campaign management. I designed direct, frequent creator payments and smart contracts for brand-creator partnerships.

I designed the onchain monetization model so creators get paid directly, early and often, with global micropayments and onchain proof of work.
