## At a Glance

- **Raise:** $3M late pre-seed, post-money SAFE
- **Founded:** 2025
- **Founder:** Andrew Conklin, 22, Atlanta
- **Category:** Product placement for the creator economy (new category)
- **Stage:** Live product, paying customers, active growth

## Traction

- **533+ creator signups** in the first month with near-zero paid acquisition
- **4,063,477 views** generated from a single test campaign (18 creators, 203 posts, 111,930 likes, 38 blocks completed)
- **$250 first paid campaign** — closed inbound with zero outbound sales
- **12 brands** in active pipeline
- **400+ creators** on waitlist from countries not yet launched

## The Problem

The influencer marketing industry spends $33B per year paying creators to make inauthentic, scripted ads — content nobody watches. No eyes, no conversions, no impact. Running a campaign is a nightmare for brands: weeks finding creators, negotiating deals, managing deliverables.

## The Solution

Product placement, not ads. Brands inside content, not in front of it. Pay-per-view, not pay-per-post. Creators feature products naturally in content they are already making. Every video analyzed, every comment scored.

## A Real Example

A creator plans a mountaineering trip. They open Bounty_OS, join a Red Bull campaign: "Do something extreme while drinking a Red Bull." One video, 4M views. Trip paid for.

## Business Model — The Math

Brands pay per view. Every 100,000 views equals one "block." Creators earn on complete blocks; partial blocks become platform margin.

**Example at $1,000 per million views:**
- 150,000 views = 1.5 blocks
- Brand pays $150
- Creator earns $100 for the complete block
- Platform keeps $50 from the partial block

## The Flywheel

More creators → more content → more brands → more revenue → repeat. One paid campaign so far. 12 brands in pipeline. 500+ creators. Brands are already asking; we're building the waitlist.

## The Market

- **Clipping (saturated):** Re-editing long-form content into short clips. Players: Vyro, Spade.
- **UGC (saturated):** Scripted product ads made by creators. Players: Noise, Whop.
- **Product Placement (new category):** Creators naturally feature products in their own content. Player: Bounty_OS.

**Competitors:**
- **Whop** — $1.6B valuation, 14.2M users; massive scale but 10% brand fee and marketing is a side feature.
- **Vyro** — MrBeast-backed; proven CPM but clipping only, managed model.
- **Noise** — pay-per-view UGC but scripted content, charges fees.
- **Spade** — quality control but no platform, Discord-based, clipping only.
