Why We're Doing It This Way
Streaming is expensive. We're building differently:
- ✓Secure runway before launch, not after— We go live when we can sustain it
- ✓Community-funded, not VC-owned— Your investment, your platform
- ✓Prove value before charging creators— Earn trust first, monetize second
- ✓Ship what we promise, nothing more— No hype, just delivery
Our commitment: We don't go live until we have 3+ months of operating costs secured. No shortcuts. No promises we can't keep.
Video delivery costs $5/TB via CDN. At full scale with 100 active streamers that's ~$600/month just to move pixels. We're transparent about costs because you deserve to know exactly where your money goes.
