JOOS lets investors fund creators in exchange for a share of future revenue. Capital fuels growth—ads, team expansion, better content. As creators earn more, investors profit. A scalable, transparent way to invest in digital talent. 🚀

🚀 Hey Product Hunt, I’m Fabian, Co-Founder of JOOS! We built JOOS because we believe creators should be able to invest in their own growth without relying on sponsors, loans, or unpredictable ad revenue. Growing a content business takes more than just talent—it requires funding for things like better equipment, marketing, and hiring a team. With JOOS, creators can raise upfront capital from their future revenue—giving them the resources they need to grow faster. Instead of giving away ownership or creative control, they share a small percentage of their earnings for a set period. Why is this a game-changer? 🔥 Smart investments = faster growth – Funding goes into real growth drivers like ads, collaborations, and production quality. 💡 No creative restrictions – Creators stay independent, with full control over their content and brand. 📈 Revenue-sharing that scales – If the creator grows, their future earnings increase, making this a sustainable cycle. This is a new way to fund creator businesses—built for long-term success. Excited to hear what you think! 🚀

This is the most thoughtful invention ever. As a creator who is still struggling to acquire gadgets. I can so relate. I see your heart Fabian, this is so beautiful.

As a creator, funding growth has always been one of the biggest challenges. Relying on unpredictable ad revenue or chasing sponsorships that come with creative restrictions isn’t a sustainable path. That’s why JOOS feels like a game-changer.
Being able to raise upfront capital from future earnings means I can invest in things that actually drive growth—better equipment, ads, collaborations, and even building a team—without giving up ownership or control. The revenue-sharing model makes so much sense because it scales with my success, rather than locking me into fixed repayments like a loan.
For creators looking to take their business to the next level without compromising their vision, this is a no-brainer. Excited to see where this goes!
as someone who believes in the expansion of the creator economy, i've been thinking a lot lately about how to get exposure to creators. great concept. i see you have polygon in your stack, where does the onchain element fit in?
is this vc for youtubers? very solid, sounds like a bad idea but it is a good one. where can i learn more?
Wow, this is awesome! I've always wanted to invest in creators, and this seems like a game-changer. If you bring the right creators on board, I can see this turning into a huge market. Excited to see where this goes!
This is such a smart solution for creators looking to scale without sacrificing control or relying on unpredictable revenue streams! How do you ensure the right creators are getting access to the right funding based on their growth potential?
As a heavy TikTok user, I’m interested. What is the profit structure? What is the legal framework? What type of contract do creators sign, and in which jurisdictions? What types of creators are eligible, and from which platforms? How is actual profitability measured? Are earnings based on revenue sharing, equity, or another model? What protections exist for creators in case of disputes? How do investors track returns, and is there transparency in revenue reporting?
Wow Fabian! It's super interesting the concepto you're bringing with JOOS cause I never thought about sponsorship or investment in this field. It could be a huge game changer. Wish you all the best!
Definitely can see how that builds a stronger bond between creators and fans. Do you think it'll increase engagement?
🚀 Congrats on the launch, Fabian @joos_me and the JOOS team! 🎉
This is such a bold reimagining of creator economics! Love how JOOS lets creators scale without losing ownership—finally, a model that treats them like real businesses, not just "influencers." 💡
The focus on ROI-driven growth (ads, collabs, production) is spot-on. But have you considered adding creator-specific metrics (e.g., audience loyalty scores, content virality potential) to help investors make data-backed decisions? 📊
Also, a "success story simulator" (e.g., input follower count → projected growth paths) could make JOOS even more sticky for both creators and backers. Would love to hear your thoughts! 👀
P.S. That "no creative restrictions" angle? Chef’s kiss. 👌
This is such a cool idea!
One concern though: rug pulls. Could a fake creator creator trick investors into giving them money, and then disappear?
💡If that’s a risk, here’s an idea: rather than new creators getting cash, could their fundraising initially be tied to an online shopping list? Joos would take the investor’s money and buy the items directly and ship to the creators.
Do you somehow help creator with knowledge how to improve their profits so investors can have better investment returns? Something like webinars or consultations for creators. Because from the perspective of a creator – incomes are not stable every month.
Sometimes it's a fight for survival and sometimes you can't keep up with the promotion. (However, it largely depends on how supportive the creators are - whether people donate to them on YouTube, Twitch, or the creators sell merch, etc.)
Since I'm a creator, I know how helpful this would be for creators. I hope this gets to the top 3 products of the day. Good work on building this
🔥 Super excited to see JOOS live on Product Hunt! I’m Janek, Co-Founder of JOOS.
We just launched our Growth Plan Alpha, and I couldn’t be happier to see creators already using it to scale their content businesses. This is just the beginning - our next big milestone is launching the JOOS Marketplace, where investors and creators can connect seamlessly.
At JOOS, transparency is everything. We’re building a system where creators get the funding they need, without hidden fees, loss of control, or complicated terms. The way we see it, if you’re serious about growing as a creator, you shouldn’t have to rely on luck - there should be a clear, scalable way to fund your success. That’s exactly what JOOS is here to provide.Pumped to see creators take control of their growth!🚀
