Building a tokenized investment ecosystem to unlock future creator revenue as tradable digital assets.

• Regulatory first-mover: Only platform registered with SEC to tokenize revenue-sharing creator assets.
• Proven model: Raised millions for creators and distributed substantial returns to investors.
• End-to-end ecosystem: Platform includes listing, investing, tracking, and soon trading CRTs.
• Strong team: Leadership includes multiple fintech and crypto startup exits.
• Secondary market launch: Trading of creator tokens expected to begin in Q4 2025.

GigaStar is raising funds to scale its platform that allows YouTube creators to raise capital by offering revenue-sharing securities to fans and investors. By tokenizing a portion of future AdSense earnings, creators receive upfront funding while investors gain rights to monthly cash flow through smart contract-enabled distributions. These digital securities, called Channel Revenue Tokens (CRTs), are backed by a regulatory framework registered with the SEC and FINRA, positioning GigaStar as the only platform currently authorized to offer this form of investment. The funds from this raise will be used to launch a regulated secondary trading platform, expand into new creator verticals beyond YouTube, and grow the investor and creator base.

Since launch, GigaStar has enabled over $4.9 million to be raised for creators and distributed more than $680,000 in revenue to investors. The platform processes roughly $315,000 in monthly YouTube revenue and has seen strong traction in creator signups and investor interest. With its broker-dealer registration, secondary market approval, and integrated ecosystem including crowdfunding, token issuance, portfolio tracking, and eventual trading, GigaStar is establishing a comprehensive financial infrastructure for the Creator Economy. The company intends to use the proceeds from this offering to build out its regulatory-compliant trading capabilities, onboard more creators, and support broader adoption of tokenized creator revenue as an investable asset class.
