Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

We at YCreator are looking for a Principal Angel Investor with a preference for early-stage venture investing (Pre-Seed) to join and disrupt the Global Creator Economy Markert. 

The Big Picture:
Before making investments, angels need time to understand the field and do some planning. Here are three “big picture”
Current Market/User Problem:

1) 70% of Creator Discovery is done through an agency model with no financial transparency!
2) No Full Stack Solution for Creators and Advertisers!
3) With no Inclusion for Creators to upskill 

We want to power change, We want to power Creator Commerce Globally 

Drop a comment if interested !

Any Angel Investors around?

More and more people are buying Premium to stop seeing their ads. 

Ankur Warikoo is the only guy who made more money talking about his startup than the startup itself.

Adtiya Kacchve tells folks that he can upskill them, but still couldn’t upskill himself to even make decently looking ads. TikTok videos look better than his ads.

Drop your roast comments down below.

I think YouTube is paying folks like Aditya Kacchve and Ankur Warikoo to throw their ads around

Does anyone here earn from YouTube?
What type of content do you create?
If one day YouTube shuts down just how TikTok got shut down, then how are you going to monetize it?
Do dance influencers earn from YouTube? Since I have heard that the songs they use get copyright strikes and eventually they are unable to earn from it.

External Audit

As a content creator how you started your youtube channel? How you get the right flow? 

I tried but it seems my voice is not that impactful. Did you also faced it in initial days?

Content creator

I had this question open to all if they know any guy who has made the highest amount of money via managing influencers through brand deals.

What is the highest a brand manager of creator has ever earned? Is it more than 100 crores??

Brand Marketing Manager

Do you guys feel that all these years of hardwork, getting best education & hustle to get decent/top job is no way remunerative to what people on SM(insta/yt) influencers make by simply sharing their life/cooking videos/GRWM/nutritionists etc, which we audience consume mindlessly.

Does this change in career mindset going to make children opt out of higher education? I see a lot of people below 18yrs to have below average scientific mind.

Ofcourse, there are people in the same age group doing amazing stuff, building startups etc but an average kid seems lost in the digital space.

Mid life crisis?

New season will have many new sharks along with old ones. Is anyone still watching, I lost much interest after S1 and ashneer departing

Hi

I want to get in touch with people who do podcast to discuss few things. Please comment in the thread if you do that

Anyone do podcast?

Engineering Manager

Most of the people just keep adding so many irrelevant pictures to their posts!! I mean what do they get out of it. If it’s anything to do with regards to the picture, I understand. Other than that, it has become a trend to add photos to the posts. They say they will have greater reach and greater views. It’s so annoying. I don’t understand the difference between Instagram and LinkedIn. Most of the time I feel Instagram is better than LinkedIn. All these so called entrepreneurs have also started doing this shit and feels 😖😣

LinkedIn pe rant!

Have had a very difficult time negotiating with influencers on collab commercials. The rates quoted are unreal! 

Is there any math/logic to this? Please share your experience and tips/tricks

Not looking at top tier Tanmay Bhat types. Mid level YT influencers or podcast hosts

Also, does direct communication with them work better or are there trusted agencies that y’all used?

- Facebook is streamlining its monetization programs into a Facebook Content Monetization hub.
- This hub will reward creators for their Reels, longer videos, photos, and text posts.
- Creators have earned over $2 billion on Facebook this year, with payouts for Reels and other short videos growing over 80%.
- Despite this, Facebook's stats still lag behind YouTube, which paid creators $70 billion over the last three years.
- Facebook will invite 1 million creators already monetizing on the platform to join the beta for the Content Monetization hub.

tldr: Been working on Exponent, a stock exchange app of creators, on the side for sometime, and launched yesterday! Would love to get your opinions, thoughts and feedback, ama!


Exponent is a stock exchange platform of creators where creators can raise capital from their followers in exchange for tradable digital assets/shares. Works like a typical stock market, IPOs and trading.

Mission is to enable creators (selectively) to leverage their follower base and raise capital for their brands/ventures/big budget long term projects.

We launched with the fantasy app yesterday. Based on feedback in the private beta, realised that a fantasy app will help people understand this new asset class and overall concept without hesitation of putting real money into this platform. Will be launching the real money app soon!

You can check out the application, subscribe to the first creator IPO (IPO closes in 15 days) and also suggest creators that you'd like to see on Exponent.

Cheers! ♥️
