The problem it solves
Brands struggle to find the right creators to promote their products effectively on TikTok, limiting their reach and sales potential. Current solutions are fragmented and lack comprehensive tools for managing relationships and tracking sales metrics, making the process inefficient.

SaaS platform with subscription fees for brands and commission on sales generated through affiliates.
Skills you need

The market, and why this works now
TikTok's algorithm favors authentic creator content, making it an opportune time for brands to leverage affiliate marketing through creators. A viable first-revenue move is to engage with communities on Reddit, particularly subreddits focused on TikTok marketing, where brands can connect with creators interested in affiliate partnerships. A significant constraint is the initial capital required to develop and maintain the platform, which may extend the customer acquisition cost payback period as brands assess the value of their investments in creator collaborations.
