Sup @iralobanovskaya! You've got some great (and many! :D) questions! I'm eager to chat more, let me know if you'd like to connect! Let me give you a quick rundown:

Profit Structure: Investors get a part of the creator’s future income. Creators decide how much they want to raise, the percentage they’ll share, and for how long.

Legal Framework: To be upfront, local laws apply, so initially, there might be some regional limitations. For example, there could be a cap on funding based on where you are.

Contracts & Jurisdiction: We use smart contracts on the blockchain for transparency and security. The jurisdiction depends on your location, but we're committed to staying compliant.

Eligible Creators: Any creator can join! It's perfect for smaller creators looking to grow or bigger ones keeping engagement alive. We’re launching with Twitch and YouTube and plan to expand to more platforms.

Measuring Profitability: Creators choose what slice of their income they’ll share, like a percentage of their Twitch or YouTube earnings.

Earnings Model: Creators stick with their income streams, and investors get their cut based on the deals they make.

Protections: Smart contracts handle terms automatically. Any disputes can be resolved with blockchain's transparency, plus we offer support and safety alerts.

Tracking Returns: Investors have a dashboard with real-time updates, thanks to blockchain’s transparency in revenue reporting.

Hope that helps clear things up! Let me know if you need more info. We're going to update our FAQ, thanks!

@joos_me Thanks Fabian! My bad, I'm taking PH a bit more seriously than simply being "thrilled" :D
I'd love to connect, and may be even collaborate in some way, good luck!

@shushantlakhyani Tom of JOOS here. Hey, thanks for the shoutout! Feedback like that keeps us motivated.

@shushantlakhyani  @tombrush Now if the investor can hook me up with some gigs, it'd be a win win. I'd like to partner up with someone who loves to market, maybe another creator who has strong marketing skills. Marketing is a must for having future success, and I know this, but I am just not great at it. I have gained many skills since I began my online journey to reach financial success and I have ideas on what will work and what won't. I think that finding someone with strong marketing skills, who is honest, who won't mind me asking questions and will not mind answering them. Someone who might like hearing my ideas. is honest and has a good attitude. I'm not sure if I'm being unrealistic, I just know what I'm lacking and what's keeping me from moving forward. Until It happens, I'll improve on my skills. I think you have a great things with JOOS, I'd love to hear ever little detail there is about it. Heck maybe you can find the kind of investor that I described and I think a lot of creators would love you for it. A contract can be a short one that can become a longer one later on. The shorter contracts can be enough time to know if it's the best thing for both the investor as well as the creator. There may be creators who may not need funding, and I may be wrong, but whatever it may be for the creator that they lack, similar to what I explained about my need. Pairing two people up, both providing something the other. Of course having some funding would allow me to afford premium tools instead of trials and less than premium quality tools. I think other creators will agree that whatever their particular skill is or low quality, or I could be wrong too, but my guess is that creators with their creative minds will not settle for second best. I may not personally know many creators, but a creators passion is easy to spot. I don't think my results were less than premium results, It just meant I had to put my thinking cap on, get resourceful, which I did. It took longer but what's the alternative? It takes a person who's walked a similar journey to understand what I'm rambling on about. Good luck on your own business journey, I think you are really onto something. Forgive the ramble, its another skill of mine. hehe. I think this is my first ever comment about a new launch.

@shushantlakhyani  @pippicandu Hi Teresa, Thanks a bunch for your thoughtful comment and for sharing your journey.
It's clear that you're passionate about what you do! And finding a partner with complementary skills sounds like a fantastic idea. We could match creators to support each other with helpful skills/knowledge/experience... kind of like "growth buddies" (though we might need a catchier name! 😄). Definitely something we'll think about!

And absolutely, it sometimes takes a thinking cap approach to make the most of the resources you have. Wonderful to hear that you embrace that challenge!

We want to to encourage connections that go beyond a "follow" or a "subscription", to really support the creators' growth in all areas.

Let's stay in touch, shall we?

@busmark_w_nika 
Hey Nika,

That's a really good point. Creator income can be all over the place, and we totally get how tough that can be. That's why we don't just help with funding - we also share knowledge to help creators grow their revenue in a more stable way.

Right now, we offer AI-powered monetization startegies, and we're also looking into mentoring and workshops, to give creators even more hands-on support. The feedback so far has been really positive and we're excited to keep on improving.

Would love to hear - what kind of support you think would be most helpful? 🙂

Thanks for your thoughts!

Maybe creating some hub, or webinars? :)

Hey,@tleyden !

Great question! Rug pulls are a real concern, and we’re building strong verification and accountability measures to prevent them. Every creator must connect their YouTube/Twitch accounts , so we can verify their identity and ensure they’re legitimate.

That said, a creator’s biggest asset is their community. Their reputation and career depend on trust. Scamming investors/fans would end their career, and serious creators know this.

Your idea about tying funds to an online shopping list (Like throne) is super interesting for us! We’re already exploring direct funding for gear, ads, and services to add extra security, and this could be a great way to refine that approach.

@jonurbonas 

Hi Jonas,

Thank you so much for your nice remarks!

We consider factors like audience engagement, content performance, and growth potential to ensure that the right creators receive the right funding. In order to help them get the right funding at the right time, we also use our AI-backed growth plan to give them tailored insights into their trajectory.

However, we are aware that each creator is unique and that the creator economy is extremely varied. Since the creator is the one who knows their community the best, they ultimately set the terms, even though it can be difficult to capture all the dynamics.

It all comes down to giving investors confidence in their choices while assisting creators in growing sustainably.

@stefanie_tabacow Hi Stefanie, absolutely! When fans/investors get more involved, have a real connection and stake in the creator’s journey, it really boosts engagement.

During our testing phase we had this fan who said to a creator: “Really love your content, but tbh, your avatar and banner aren’t that great.” :D She was a designer and offered to help, saying: “I’m an investor, so of course I’m interested in you looking good.”
