Spotter provides funding solutions for independent content creators, especially those on platforms like YouTube. The company offers upfront cash payments to creators in exchange for the rights to monetize their existing video content based on its predicted future performance. This allows creators to access funds quickly, without waiting for slow platform payouts, while retaining full ownership of their channels and intellectual property. Spotter's revenue comes from the monetization of these licensed videos over time. Additionally, Spotter provides creators with insights into their content's performance, helping them make informed decisions about their content strategy. The goal of Spotter is to empower creators to grow their channels and diversify their revenue streams while maintaining their independence.

  • The company's performance insights can help creators optimize their content strategy, potentially leading to higher engagement and revenue.

What critics are saying
