Revenue infrastructure for creator teams

Build your channel like a startup.

Bring the right people into the work before you can afford a full team. Creator Residuals lets creators and collaborators agree on ongoing revenue shares, so contributors can participate in the value they help create once the content starts earning.

The problem

Great channels need great people — often before the channel can afford them.

Building a YouTube channel like a real company takes more than one skill. Creators may need editors, writers, researchers, designers or producers long before the business has enough cash to pay everyone what their contribution is worth. At the same time, collaborators deserve a fair way to share in the upside if the work succeeds.

The creator problem

You may have the idea, audience and ambition to build something bigger, but not yet have the budget for the team that can help you get there. That can force early creators to stay small or rely on informal promises.

The contributor problem

A collaborator can help create a video that earns for months or years, yet traditional arrangements often end with a single upfront payment — or no realistic way to participate in the future value they helped create.

A different way to build

Creator Residuals lets both sides agree on a project-level revenue share. The creator can bring talent into the business earlier, and contributors can begin earning when the content earns — for as long as the agreement provides.

How it works

From upload to residual, without the spreadsheet.

The prototype is designed around a simple workflow that can sit alongside a creator’s existing content business.

Step 01

Connect the channel

Connect YouTube so project and revenue data can be imported into one workspace.

Step 02

Add contributors

Attach editors, writers, researchers, designers or other collaborators to the specific content they helped create.

Step 03

Agree on a share

Propose a residual percentage. Terms only become active when both sides agree, with room for requests and counter-offers.

Step 04

Track & pay

Creator Residuals calculates what is owed as content earns. Payouts are powered through a connected payment provider.

The product

Built around the content, the agreement and the money.

The owner workspace gives creator businesses a single place to understand who is attached to each project and what every agreement is currently worth.

Project-level splits

Click any video and see every contributor, percentage and current residual value at a glance.

Two-way agreements

Owners can propose shares, contributors can request them, and either side can counter before terms become active.

Revenue visibility

See how much content is earning, how much is being shared and how those residuals change over time.

Payout calculations

Translate active agreements into clear amounts owed for each payout cycle.

Contributor requests

Contributors can propose a residual for work they contributed rather than relying on informal messages and spreadsheets.

Scalable by design

A digital workflow designed for distributed creator teams, multiple projects and eventually multiple revenue platforms.

One agreement, two perspectives

Transparent for the creator. Clear for the contributor.

The public demo focuses on the channel-owner workspace, while the underlying product concept supports both sides of the agreement.
