From the desk of Hazem Dawani:Recently, Front Money, an independent Creator Economy newsletter, published a deep dive on GigaStar called "Creators as an Asset Class." Writer Brian Flaherty reviewed our numbers, talked with our team, and drew his own conclusions.His framing matched something we've believed since day one. Flaherty points out that the U.S. now has 1.5 million full-time Creators, more people than practice law in this country. Top Creators run real, multi-million-dollar businesses. Until GigaStar, Investors had no direct way to buy into that growth. Traditional Creator loans depend on volatile platform cash flow. Equity means a Creator gives away a piece of the company just to raise money. Neither fits how Creators actually earn.Flaherty called out how rare our position actually is. GigaStar Trading, our SEC-registered digital Alternative Trading System, runs on a license only a small number of companies nationwide hold, he found. He also flagged our team's track record and our expanding margins as reasons he thinks the model can scale.He didn't skip the open questions either: whether Investor demand holds up once someone looks past their favorite Creator's own fanbase, and whether this market delivers the liquidity it promises. Those are the right questions. We think the answer plays out on our platform: $7M+ raised for Creators so far, and $1.5M+ already distributed to Investors.A journalist spent weeks studying whether Creator revenue deserves to be its own asset class. He concluded it does, and that GigaStar got there first. If you've been on the fence, this is a good moment to take a closer look.Read the full piece on the Front Money Substack here.Invest or share this opportunity → wefunder.com/gigastar Here's to building the Creator Economy's capital markets, together.HazemCEO & Co-founder, GigaStar
