Stream 1 — Premium Subscriptions

$12 / month

Free matching for all creators. Premium unlocks the Discoverability Tool — a proprietary algorithm — designed and tested by the founder — that optimises stream tags and timing for maximum discoverability — plus early access to the Reputation Protocol.

Stream 2 — Advertiser Protocol

Activates Year 2

The creator economy has a brand safety crisis: brands sponsor streamers with no way to verify reliability or conduct history before signing — until something like Dr. Disrespect happens. StreamFuse's Reputation Protocol eliminates this risk. Every collaboration, peer rating, and outcome is written to an immutable ledger that no platform or advertiser can alter. Advertisers filter by game category, audience size, and verified advertiser-friendliness score — the due-diligence layer that did not exist before StreamFuse. (Full explanation: slide 3) StreamFuse charges a 2.5% transaction fee on brand deals brokered through the platform.

Why advertisers pay StreamFuse — not the portable reputation protocol
chevron_right Raw portable reputation protocol data is unreadable without StreamFuse's scoring algorithm, creator identity layer, and campaign-matching UI
chevron_right The network only has value because creators enrolled — an advertiser can't query creators who never joined
chevron_right StreamFuse's platform-neutral architecture is the trust pitch to brands: our scores cannot be inflated by anyone, including us

LTV:CAC
Model projection — theoretical ceiling based on ~$1 CAC and 5% monthly churn. Alpha cohort shows 0% churn to date. At 5% monthly churn (industry avg), LTV:CAC is ~58:1 — still strongly positive. Validated target: 10:1 minimum by Month 6 on live paying cohort.

Why freemium works here: creators won't pay before they see results. Free matching builds the habit. Premium monetises the growth. Advertisers follow the audience.
