Freemium foundation. Two revenue streams. Advertiser layer unlocks at scale.
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.
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 freemium works here: creators won't pay before they see results. Free matching builds the habit. Premium monetises the growth. Advertisers follow the audience.
