Our Mission is to lower the barrier of entry to invest in and help grow the Creator Economy to a trillion dollars.Securitizing Future RevenueGigaStar Market is our SEC-registered crowdfunding platform where YouTube Creators offer revenue-sharing securities in their channels.GigaStar has the only FINRA/SEC framework in the market with tokenized cash-flow products.How It Works: During the offering period, investors can purchase rights to a percentage of a YouTube channel's potential future AdSense revenue, digitally represented by Channel Revenue Tokens (CRTs).Investment offerings are speculative, illiquid, and involve a high degree of risk, including the risk of loss of your entire investment.Investors (aged 18+) can purchase CRTs at different investment tiers, which can include special perks assigned by the issuer.Once an offering is funded, the Creator receives the funds raised, investors' CRTs are minted, and GigaStar’s blockchain smart contracts distribute YouTube revenue to investors monthly.\u0026nbsp;After a 12-month holding period, investors will be able to sell and trade their CRTs on the secondary market platform, which is planned for launch in Q4 2025.Traction \u0026amp; Market ValidationGigaStar gives Creators a way to monetize future YouTube revenue, gain strategic channel investors, and position themselves for potential growth.Since our soft launch in 2023, our proven business model and technology continue to gain traction in the Creator Economy.Past performance does not guarantee future results.View our YouTube Services Directory profile.GROWTH STATS:☑️ Raised over $4.9M for 23 YouTube Creators ☑️ Gained over 22,500 investor accounts☑️ Largest sold-out offering raised $1.3M☑️ Distributed over $680K to 6,500 active investors☑️ 38% growth in aggregate YouTube revenue of channels listed on GigaStar (April 2024 - May 2025)☑️ Processing about $315k of YouTube Revenue monthlyYouTube revenue processed by GigaStar has grown 364% from Jan. 2024 - May 2025Revenue is distributed the month after it accrues (e.g., Jan. revenue is distributed in Feb.).

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.Secondary Market (Expected To Launch in Q4 2025)Our broker-dealer entity has received SEC registration to mint, issue, and create a secondary market for the trading of digital Channel Revenue Tokens (CRTs), a key milestone to complete our vision of an end-to-end trading ecosystem.The broker-dealer is now registered to operate a digital asset ATS and, as of 4/29/25, will be the 10th active digital ATS in the U.S. It is expected to be the first SEC-registered broker-dealer and ATS to trade digital asset securities minted by its affiliated tech company.Putting Proceeds to WorkWe have allocated a portion of our Series A round to our community of investors and fans!

In that Form D, the company disclosed a separate $8.035M Rule 506(c) offering for accredited investors, with $1.125M of the proceeds intended for repayment of promissory notes to insiders. Since the Form C/A came after that filing, I expected to see some acknowledgment of this related raise or insider repayment plan, especially as the two offerings appear to be happening in parallel. Yet the Form C/A only references the increase in the Reg CF max raise — and doesn't mention the broader fundraising activity or insider-related use of proceeds. Would the team be willing to clarify: Whether any portion of the CF raise (or broader fundraising strategy) could be used directly or indirectly for insider loan repayment? How Reg CF investors’ interests are being protected in light of the larger Reg D offering and potential dilution? Why this context wasn’t disclosed in the amended Form C, despite being filed two weeks later?

Considering the larger than expected response and excitement from the community, GigaStar decided to increase the allocation of the Reg CF and reduce the allocation of the Reg D. The total expected raise did not change and the Reg D plans was disclosed initially, hence the amendment to increase the allocation of the Reg CF from $1.2M to up-to $4.2M did not reference Reg D.

I've been following GigaStar for a while. Interesting business model to allow people to invest in creators for a revenue share. I definitely appreciate GigaStar helping to grow the CF community. On the business, I have the below questions: 1. How does GigaStar make money? Is it transaction fees, you get shares from every listing, etc. 2. What controls do you have in place to stop a creator from \"stiffing\" their investors and simply starting a new YouTube channel or leaving the channel dormant? 3. From your research, what is the average life of a YouTube channel. As many creators want a 10x multiple of revenue.

These are all great questions. To answer them: 1. GigaStar has three revenue streams: success fees from funds raised on its crowdfunding platform, percentage of the monthly YouTube revenue distributed to the investors, and transaction fees from trading on the secondary market (not launched yet) 2. The creators are raising money and issuing revenue-sharing securities to investors under SEC regulations, so they have a legal obligation to distribute the YouTube revenue which GigaStar Technologies facilitates and makes the amount transparent to the investors. Additionally, Creators success is dependent on their fans and communities and it is not in their advantage to upset their supporters and fans. 3. The average life of a YouTube channel is 7-10 yeas. The multiplier that the creators use takes into account the historical growth and future growth of the Channel's revenue, so as the revenue grows, the monthly returns for the investors will increase. Additional, the investors own a revenue-sharing securities which they may be able to sell on the secondary market. If the Channel revenue grows, then the value of this asset increases, and investors can sell this asset after they accumulate monthly returns for a period of time.","author_name":"Hazem Dawani","votes":1,"created_at":"2025-06-14T14:31:06Z"}]},{"id":309673,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:309673","question":"How will the Preferred Stock be handled as compared to the Common Stock when/if an IPO occurs?
