The Creator Economy Is Broken. We’re Fixing It.
Creators across music, comedy, film, and theater face the same problem: platforms profit from their content while paying fractions of a cent. ta8er flips the model — we put professional-grade promotional tools directly in fans’ hands, turning every audience member into a street team.
Music is our beachhead. The bump-to-share mechanic — where fans physically tap phones to share content — works everywhere people gather around creators: concerts, comedy clubs, film festivals, theater lobbies, and beyond. Our B2B SaaS model captures value at the point of promotion, not consumption, driving organic reach with zero ad spend.

Fan-powered distribution
A $250B market with no IRL layer
Every creator-economy platform relies on algorithmic distribution. ta8er is the first to monetize the moment a fan says “you have to see this” — in person. Music is where we start. Comedy, film, and theater are where we scale.

Three revenue streams, one platform
$20/mo
Dashboard, content drops, scheduling, fan analytics, bump tracking, and campaign management. Musicians, comedians, filmmakers, and actors get professional-grade promotion tools at indie-friendly pricing.
Custom
Multi-creator roster management for labels, comedy networks, film distributors, and theater companies. Team permissions, dedicated content vaults, moderation tools, and priority support.
Per-unit
Creators and organizations purchase bump credits — a finite commodity transferred only in person via Live Bump or standard NFC tap. Works at concerts, comedy shows, film screenings, and theater lobbies. Each bump also creates an IRL-verified first-degree connection.
The Bump Economy
Every bump is a micro-transaction that puts real money into creators’ hands. Fan rewards stay in-platform as bump credits — no cash outflow — so 80% of net revenue flows directly to the label.

Fan rewards are bump-denominated. When a fan’s 5 bumped recipients all listen, the fan earns 1 bump back. This incentivizes sharing without any cash outflow — the full 80/20 net split is preserved on every transaction.

Five tailwinds accelerating ta8er
01
Creator discontent across verticals
Musicians, comedians, and filmmakers are all publicly criticizing platform economics. Streaming pays fractions of a cent. YouTube takes 45%. Ticket platforms take 30%+. Every vertical is seeking alternative models that reward real engagement.
02
NFC ubiquity
Every modern smartphone ships with NFC. The hardware barrier to bump-to-share is zero — no app install required for the initial connection. Works at concerts, comedy clubs, film festivals, and theater lobbies.
03
Zero infrastructure cost at scale
ta8er doesn’t pay to store or serve content. Each label, comedy network, or film distributor provisions their own GitHub organization — passing storage, bandwidth, and CDN costs to the organizations that own the content. ta8er scales without scaling infrastructure spend.
04
Multi-vertical expansion
The bump mechanic is content-agnostic. A comedian bumping a fan at a club, a filmmaker at a screening, an actor at a stage door — every vertical has the same IRL moment where someone says “you have to see this.” ta8er formalizes all of them.
05
Live event resurgence
Post-pandemic, live events are at record attendance across all performing arts. Every concert, open mic, film premiere, and theater run is a bump distribution opportunity.
Let’s build the future of creator promotion
We’re raising our next round to scale across music, comedy, film, and theater — with zero infrastructure costs per vertical.
