FAQ

The practical stuff.

Everything we get asked on every intro call, answered up front.

What kinds of brand collaborations will I get?
We match Founding Creators with LA businesses looking for sponsored content — coffee shops, gyms, restaurants, salons, fitness studios, retail brands, and more. You'll get first access to opportunities that match your vibe and audience.
Do I have to pay anything to join?
No. Becoming a Founding Creator is free.
What's the time commitment?
A few hours a week, minimum. Daily Discord check-ins, helping us find and onboard creators and businesses in your network, and giving honest product feedback. The most active Founding Creators put in 5–10 hours a week and see the biggest rewards. This isn't a passive program — we're looking for people genuinely committed to building this.
How long is the commitment?
Indefinite. You can leave any time. Founding Creators who go inactive for 30+ days lose access to the program.
Do I need a certain follower count?
No. We care about community fit and engagement more than follower count. LA-based creators with authentic, engaged audiences are who we're looking for.
When does SponsorPair launch publicly?
Soft launch is happening now with our Founding Creator cohort. Public launch is coming after we've validated the model with our first wave.
What if I'm a business owner, not a creator?
We have a separate waitlist for founding businesses. Join the founders waitlist →
