Hi and welcome to Sponsorship!
I started working on this idea around 8 months ago when I realized there was a gap in the market for a comprehensive tool to manage YouTube sponsorships.
For some context, there are 7 main strategies that YouTubers use to monetize their audience:
• Memberships through tools like Patreon or with YouTube Memberships
• Adsense by letting Google run ads on their videos
• Livestreams on Twitch, YouTube or other platforms
• Infoproducts with course hosting tools like SchoolMaker, Podia or Teachable
• Affiliation by promoting other people's products with Amazon for example
• Physical products like merch or creator-led brands with Shopify
• And of course, sponsorships.
But when looking at the landscape of tools around YouTube channel monetization and talking to some YouTuber friends, I realized that there isn't really a go-to solution to manage sponsorships for brands, creators, and agencies.
After working in the creator economy for a few years, I found that there are a few unsolved issues in this space, and a lot of brands are still doing manual tasks that should be automated in 2024.
The sponsorship space needs better tools, and I think that I can help!
For now, I started with the creation of a big database containing which brands are mentioned on YouTube by creators and I analyzed more than 2 million videos so far!
So in the database you get:
- Hundreds of brands
- Hundreds of thousands of creators
- Hundreds of thousands of sponsored videos
We're adding more data and improving the database every week!
In the future, I plan to add even more features to help you ace your next sponsorships. For example better tools for tracking and analyzing your campaigns, solutions for safely handling sensitive information like payment details, or even the ability to create real-time media kits.
If you're interested in learning more about how Sponsorship can help you grow your channel or find new partners, I'd love to chat! Reach out and let's discuss how we can work together to make the sponsorship space a better place.

Hi @alexandruglv,
Great application! Congratulations on your launch.
Your landing page is really nice, well-designed, and simple.
It's really nice to see beautiful rails apps like yours.
I was wondering if you already know @benjamincode ?
He's building something similar: MeetSponsors.
I hope your launch day goes well, even if it's a pretty busy day for new products!
Do you want to make more money on YouTube????
Awesome. 👏🏻 Using this site where I would start. It’s easy to find lists of content creators, but discovering who the sponsors are is a goldmine. 💰
Great job Alex! 📈
congratulations on the launch of sponsorship.so, alexandru. navigating youtube sponsorships efficiently is crucial for both brands and creators. with the extensive database you have compiled, what has been the most surprising trend or insight about youtube sponsorships that you've discovered? looking forward to seeing how the platform evolves.
Hi Alexandru, just want to make sure: Do you have a database of both? Creators and sponsors? Who is supposed to be a customer? In other words: The same prices are for the people trying to find sponsors and companies trying to find creators. Do I understand it correctly? BTW, good concept.
