Hold a piece of it.
You have an audience that trusts you.
Brand deals pay you once and forget you. Here you use one of the companies for two weeks, say so in your own words, and hold a piece of it — for years, not for a month.
Not a brand deal.
A brand deal pays once and forgets you. This is a position in a company you chose, held for years — and it is not an agency, it does not sell reach, and nobody is ever assigned anything.
You choose the company. Nothing is ever assigned to you
Your own words, your own platform. No briefs, no scripts
A position in the company instead of a fee
How it stays true.
Two of these are structural and two are law. They are what make the recommendation worth anything — to your audience first, and to the company second.
You use it first
Nobody posts about a company until fourteen days of verified use against their own account. It is a gate in the software, not a request — which is what makes the recommendation structurally true rather than sincerely meant.
You choose the company
Companies are browsed and picked. Nothing is ever assigned, recommended by default, or opted into on your behalf. A brief you did not choose is the thing that makes every other creator post sound the same.
Ten invitations each
There is no sign-up button. Every creator gets ten invitations and no more, so the network only ever grows by someone putting their own name behind yours.
Disclosure, twice over
Every post carries Werbung and a statement that you hold units in the company. Neither can be taken off the asset. That is BaFin and ESMA's rule for finfluencers, and it is not negotiable.
Someone has to vouch for you.
There is no sign-up button and there is no plan to add one. A creator already inside hands you a code, and they only have ten.
What you could back.
Every one of these was built by the studio. You pick from them — not all of them are open every wave, and none of them is ever assigned to you.

Straight talk, before you pick a door.
The creator network started this year, with a handful of companies and no track record at all. The studio has more history than the network does, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
Most early-stage companies do not make it. That is how this works. If one you backed disappears, your position in it is worth nothing, and we will not dress that up.
A position is not a payout. You hold it for years. If you need money this month, the influence path is the wrong thing for you — and we would rather you knew that today than in three years.
Not on this page yet
What you are paid, and how much of a company a wave actually carries, are decided and written down — but they are terms, and terms belong to an agreement rather than to a marketing page. You will see them in full, with the €0 case in the same size as everything else, before you are asked to commit to anything.
- Cash per confirmed sign-up, and when it clears
- How much equity a wave carries, and how it is split
- How long units take to vest, and the cap per creator
- The participation agreement itself
Got a code?
Then you already know somebody inside. If you do not, the honest answer is that there is nothing to sign up to yet — and we would rather say that than collect your email.
