Creator Dao

CreatorDAO is a Los Angeles-area organization structured as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that funds online content creators and supports them with technology, mentorship, and operational help. Creators apply for membership; those selected receive capital, mentorship, and professional tooling intended to help them improve content output and grow their audiences, and in return share a percentage of their future earnings with the community treasury. Investment decisions are crowdsourced across DAO members, and contributions to the organization such as mentorship and collaboration are designed to be rewarded.

The company came out of stealth in August 2022 alongside a $20 million seed round. Its public site lists creators it has funded, including Jordy's Computer (70K subscribers, 4M views), Zoe Unlimited (500K subscribers, 14M views), North Borders (6M subscribers, 500M views), Sad Alex (175K subscribers, 51M views), and Charles Liu (3.4M subscribers, 560M views). A separate education arm has offered free YouTube training taught by practitioners including Kong Pham and Kel Livson, though registration for that program is shown as closed.

CreatorDAO has published tokenomics for a planned governance token with a fixed supply cap of 1 billion tokens and no further minting. The token is intended primarily for voting on proposals to fund creators and secondarily to compensate contributors, builders, and investors. Allocations are 25% treasury, 20% founding members, 20% locked investors, 15% locked team, 6% incentives/collaborations, 5% locked District DAO, 4% staking, 3% liquidity, 1% founding member bonus, and 1% locked advisors, with locked tokens subject to a one-year lock followed by two-year linear vesting.
