We believe makers should own what they create — legally, financially, and operationally.
In the world we're building, a song, a video, or an AI-generated artwork isn't just a piece of content — it's a shared asset, backed by a legal structure, owned by its contributors, and set up to generate long-term value.
We give creators the power to form real businesses around their work, with shared ownership, automated payouts, and the governance tools to manage both people and IP over time.
Just as Stripe became the financial backbone of online commerce, CreatorsShare is becoming the ownership infrastructure for the creator economy.
The creator economy includes 200M+ participants and generates $250B+ annually. In 10 years, 1B+ creators will generate $1T+ annually.
While platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and TikTok have scaled distribution, the tools for ownership, contracts, and payouts haven't kept pace.
Most collaborative creators face the same challenges:
No clear system for defining ownership stakes and contributor roles
Manual spreadsheets and ad hoc agreements that break down as projects scale
No automated way to collect revenue and split payments fairly
Contributors paid once as freelancers, with no ongoing participation in the IP they help create
Expensive traditional services ($5,000-15,000 annually + 10-20% revenue share) that only make sense for established teams
As a result, most makers remain workers, not owners, in the economy they power.
CreatorsShare provides end-to-end infrastructure for collaborative creative work — from content distribution to legal formation to automated payouts.
We handle everything:
Legal Foundation
Structure your team as a real business with cooperative LLC formation, clear ownership stakes, and governance rights. Or start simpler with just distribution and payment automation.
Ownership Registry
Every project has a clear chain of title. Track who contributed what, when ownership stakes were assigned, and how they've evolved over time.
Distribution & Collection
Upload your content once. We distribute it to all major platforms (YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, and more), collect revenue, and bring it into your CreatorsShare account.
Payment Automation
Configure revenue splits once. We automatically distribute earnings to all contributors in their local currencies, handle tax compliance, and generate year-end forms.
Governance & Rights Management
Vote on decisions, amend agreements, manage disputes, and maintain control over your shared IP as your team evolves.
We replace expensive lawyers, accountants, and distributors with scalable, ownership-first infrastructure at a fraction of the cost.
CreatorsShare is like having your own distribution, legal, accounting, and payroll departments — all at a transparent, affordable rate.

You get enterprise-grade infrastructure at startup-friendly prices, at a fraction of what traditional services cost.
There are already 200 million creators generating $250 billion annually, growing at 20% per year. The total addressable market for ownership infrastructure is $44 billion.
CreatorsShare operates on a capital-efficient model:
Revenue comes from subscriptions plus a modest percentage of distributions
We make money when creators make money
Network effects strengthen as more creators join and share best practices
Multiple revenue streams: distribution fees, legal services, payment processing
By controlling the distribution pipeline and providing the legal/financial infrastructure, CreatorsShare builds deep moats and sustainable competitive advantages in a massive, rapidly growing market.
