A year ago, I asked a Lagos creator with 8,000 followers why she wasn’t earning from her content. She showed me her TikTok dashboard. The platform said she was ineligible for monetisation in her country.
Eight thousand followers. Real fans. Zero ability to earn.
That conversation is why we built Streamlivr.
We’re building the creator economy infrastructure for Africa — a social livestream and short-form video platform where creators earn from their first follower, not their 10,000th. Fan gifts settle on-chain in
$LIVR with 90% going directly to the creator. Withdrawals land same-day in their NGN bank, M-Pesa, or crypto. No 90-day waits, no eligibility thresholds, no foreign distributors taking the long way home with the money.
We also built Streamlivr for Artists — the music distribution platform that puts independent African artists into Streamlivr’s music library and 150 DSPs (Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, Audiomack) at $22.99/year with 90% royalty retention and an AI advisor that actually reads their numbers management insights.
Where we are right now:
→ v2 beta is live on iOS and Android
→ 2,000 registered users, organic from Lagos and Nairobi
→ Real
$LIVR moving P2P between fans and creators every week
→ Creators like Derablaq and Cater Efe (Africa’s top streamer) are already on the platform and behind us
→ Admin dashboard, KYC, on/off-ramps to NGN and KES — built, tested, working.
Where we’re going:
We’re raising a $250K pre-seed at a $2.5M post to scale from 2,000 users to 25k WAU by December, and we’re planning the path to 1 million.
The capital takes us through:
→ Lagos and Nairobi market activation
→ The Streamlivr v3 interactive livestream feature set (the version that actually competes with TikTok LIVE on engagement)
→ The Streamlivr Shop creator commerce launch
→ Team expansion across product and growth
What I believe:
TikTok and Instagram built the global creator economy by extracting value from creators and routing the money offshore. The next billion creators are African. The infrastructure that pays them should be built here, owned here, and stay here.
If you invest in African consumer tech, creator economy, or Web3 infrastructure that actually solves a problem instead of inventing one — I’d love a 20-minute conversation. DMs are open.
