# About MediaCreators

MediaCreators is the **Creator Business OS** — a SaaS platform that gives digital creators the intelligence to understand their audience and the infrastructure to monetize it directly, without leaving the platforms they already use.

We were founded in Chile in 2025, and we serve creators globally with an asymmetric focus on LATAM as a beachhead market.

## Why we built MediaCreators

The creator economy is a **$250B+ market** (Goldman Sachs, 2024), projected to surpass **$480B by 2027**, with more than **200 million content creators** worldwide. Yet **less than 4% earn a sustainable income** from their work — not because they lack audience, but because they lack business infrastructure.

Creators build massive attention. YouTube keeps the data. Social channels control the relationship. The creator keeps the workload — and the risk.

We built MediaCreators as a **business layer on top of the channels creators already use**. Not to replace YouTube, Spotify, or Instagram — but to give creators ownership, intelligence, and a direct path to recurring revenue.

## Founding team

### Iván Olivares — Founder & CEO

Iván is a Software Architect with 20+ years of experience in software engineering, media, and streaming. He has built large-scale streaming and video infrastructure across LATAM and for U.S. clients. His path is non-traditional: with a degree in History and no formal technical background, he taught himself to program in 2015 and has been shipping production systems ever since. At MediaCreators he leads product, strategy, and commercial relationships, and personally closed the company's first client.

### Nicolás Riquelme — Co-Founder & CTO

Nicolás is a software engineer focused on backend performance, distributed systems, and data architecture. He builds the intelligence pipeline that powers the Creator Business Score — the data normalization, scoring engine, and infrastructure that turns multi-platform creator data into a single business signal.

### Claudio Otto — Co-Founder & CAIO

Claudio is a hands-on executive and Data & AI strategist. As Chief AI Officer he leads the analytical and AI layers of the product — turning raw audience signals into actionable monetization insight. His operating principle: real value, no hype.

## Advisors

### Gabriel Rodriguez — Media & Streaming Advisor

Broadcast subject-matter expert with 10+ years of experience in media and entertainment. Advises on industry positioning and B2B media strategy.

### Felipe Velasquez — Early-Stage Advisor

Experienced founder and cloud expert. Advises on early-stage company building, scaling, and infrastructure decisions.

## Mission

Give creators the business infrastructure that companies have from day one — without complexity, and without forcing them to leave the platforms that built their audience.

## Vision

A world where any creator can build a predictable, sustainable income from their audience — owned, direct, and independent of third-party platform decisions.

## What we believe

- **Ownership** — Creators should own their audience data, revenue, and relationships, not rent them from platforms.
- **Transparency** — Every metric we surface is honest, directional, and actionable. No vanity numbers, no dark patterns.
- **Builder mindset** — We ship fast, learn from creators in production, and treat every feature as a hypothesis to validate.

## Where we are

MediaCreators is currently in **private beta** with our first paying client in the U.S. and active conversations with creators across Chile, Argentina, and the broader LATAM region. We are pre-seed and building toward a public launch in 2026.
