## Story
Igniting a Trillion-Dollar Creator EconomyAs the Creator Economy is projected to grow from $250B to $480B by 2027, GigaStar aims to monetize and tokenize Creator Economy revenue streams, starting with $19B of potential YouTube revenue.We're democratizing the Creator Economy.While the Creator Economy is projected to reach $480B by 2027, Creators still lack access to scalable financing. With GigaStar, Creators can raise funds, while turning fans into ambassadors and improve engagement, loyalty, and grow their revenue.GigaStar is unlocking the value of future YouTube revenue by turning it into revenue-sharing digital securities. 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. 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 & 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.).

## FAQ
1. **Is the secondary market on schedule to be operations and useable by or during Q4 of this calendar year 2025?**

## Q&A
- Q: Hello, When I look at your website, I see that there are currently no active YouTube channel drops. It seems like there's no activity at all, even though you've been around for several years. I expected to see many active drops in which users could participate. In all those years, there have only been 31 drops, most of which raised less than $100,000. The idea and vision are promising, but I find it hard to justify the $58 million valuation. In the comments, I see posts saying things like “to the moon,” which makes me quite skeptical. So my question is: why have there been so few drops, and why are there no active drops at the moment?
- Q: I saw it mentioned that Gigastar has "22,000+ Investor accounts on platform." Are those 22,000 accounts that have been created, or are those 22,000 accounts that have purchased at least one CRT?
  - A: As of June 16th 2025, 23,062 investor accounts have been created on the GigaStar platform, and 6,582 investors purchased at least one CRT
- Q: Are there any other platforms like this that took off and were extremely profitable?
  - A: GigaStar is unique in its business model and value proposition. There are comparisons in various industries from creator fan engagement platforms, like Patreon (reached $4B in valuation), to marketplaces like CoinBase ($61B in valuation) and OpenSea ($3B in valuation).
- Q: I made an investment here but was asked to reconfirm. It says 'this company had a material change. Your investment will be cancelled unless you reconfirm.' When I click on the 'view material change' button it shows a broken link, and I'm not able to see what this is. What is the change?
  - A: The only material change is raising the maximum limit. Originally, the maximum limit (cap) was set to $1.2M. The response from our community was tremendous and we were oversubscribed quickly. The company board decided to give our community a bigger share in the company stock and raise the maximum limit to $4.2M to meet the demand and give our community the opportunity to be part of what we are building at GigaStar.
- Q: I did my research and discovered GigaStar’s Risk Profile include: Low current revenue (<$400K/year). High valuation (~$58M) implies significant growth is already priced in. No current liquidity for investors (no public market). Complex and unproven business model (tokenized creator revenue). High execution and adoption hurdles. So there is a 50% risk of failure at Gigastar at this point in it's development. How would Gigastar's management like to rebuttle my research?
- Q: I invested some money with GigaStar, but am a little confused on how I will benefit, financially. Do I receive stocks, a bond, or a certain, set amount of money (or just a really nice Thank You!)? For instance, if I invested $1,000.
- Q: If I invest in GigaStar, how do I get paid? It is a dividend? Do I sell GigaStar stock?
  - A: This funding round is a priced round offering company preferred stock (most likely with no dividends in the near future) at $3.51 per share and a pre‑money valuation of around $58 million. There are a few potential paths to earning a return in the future from the sale of the stock, including a Company Exit or Acquisition or Public Offering (IPO).
- Q: Is the secondary market on schedule to be operations and useable by or during Q4 of this calendar year 2025?
  - A: Yes, the current plan is for the Secondary Market to be operational and launched in Q4 2025. GigaStar received the necessary regulatory licenses to do so.
- Q: I've invested $1000 in gigastar 5 months ago nothing has happened please let me know if I am supposed to do anything else THANKYOU
- Q: So I put in 5k, whats next? The money is just sitting there doing nothing.
- Q: Who do I contact about my investment in GIGASTAR?
- Q: Hi, I keep getting emails from Wefunder "last chance to invest in "so many days/hours". the same emails/website say "You invested $xxxxx.xx in a priced Round on July 25, 2025. My question is, "Am I invested and/or do I need to do anything else?" Thanks so much CTM
  - A: Your investment and information seem to have been submitted correctly. You are all set. You do not need to do anything else. Thanks!
- Q: I took their name out. Can you see question now?
- Q: how do I get paid?
- Q: Thanks for the update and for expanding the raise to include more of the community — that’s encouraging to see. However, I noticed that a Form D was filed on July 16, 2025, before the Form C/A amendment filed on August 1, 2025. 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? I’m a supporter of the project and just want to ensure there’s transparency across filings for all investor types — especially given the SEC’s disclosure requirements around material information and insider transactions. Appreciate any clarification the team can offer!
  - A: Thank you for the question and your research. It was disclosed initially that as part of a Series A raise of up-to $10M, GigaStar allocated $1.2M for its community under a Reg CF offering, with the rest being planned to come from institutional investors under Reg D under the same terms. 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. The total expected combined raise of Reg CF and Reg D is the same as the original plan. Hope this helps clarify.
