Built for CreatorsFrom funding to growth strategy, our team puts creators first, helping them scale with confidence while investors back their journey.
Who can use Upstream? Creators, Investors, or Both?+
Both. Creators can list revenue-sharing opportunities to raise funding, and investors (including fans) can invest directly in the creators they believe in.
Is it safe and legal to invest in creators on Upstream?+
Yes. All investments are structured under SEC-compliant exemptions (Reg CF and Reg D), ensuring a legal and transparent process for both creators and investors.
How do I earn returns on my investment?+
When a creator generates revenue, a portion is shared back with investors based on the agreed terms. Returns are distributed periodically, and you can track performance in real time through Upstream.
How do I raise funds on Upstream as a creator?+
Creators apply to join, set their funding goals, and decide what percentage of future revenue to share. Once approved, their campaign goes live for fans and investors to back.
Can I choose how much revenue to share and for how long?+
Yes. Creators set both the percentage of revenue they're willing to share and the time period of the agreement, ensuring terms that fit their goals and comfort level.
