Desire to help friends, loved ones, and the millions of other creators who struggle daily to keep their businesses afloat.
Frustration with the inefficiencies and the maximally-extractive nature of incumbent influencer marketing solutions.
Passion for re-distributing marketing dollars (ie wealth( from the major platforms to individual creators and solo-prenuers leaders.
Distaste for bad advertising and wasted marketing spend.
