What we do

Connections

We connect creators in the community to business owners, elected officials, brands, and other creators where we can. We're here to be a community and a resource.

Creator-only events

We partner up with sports teams, hospitality groups, real estate companies, brands, and more to host curated creator-only events for creators to meet other creators and those in the business ecosystem.

Community

We're building up the creator ecosystem in Chicago where it matters the most: relationships. Through our creator events & introductions we've seen collaborations & relationships blossom.

How it works.

Our community is designed for established creators, those who are consistently creating content and building an audience (typically 20k-30k+ minimum followers, though it's not a hard rule).

Our events pull hundreds of creators with billions of annual views. We partner with elected officials, sports teams, brands, and more to hosted curated creator events. From galas to roundtables in a variety of venues, from yachts to museums.

All of our events are invite-only so we can create a collaborative space where creators can build together. Getting on our radar doesn't guarantee an invite since spots are limited, however, we'll reach out directly if there's a match.
