About

The creator economy is a $480B market running on intuition instead of infrastructure. I'm building GYST (Get Your Sh*t Together), the business intelligence platform for portfolio creators who are ready to operate like companies, not just content machines. THE PROBLEM Creators earning $100K+ a month are running multi-million dollar businesses with spreadsheet-level infrastructure. Five revenue streams. Ten platforms. Zero unified view of what's profitable, predictable, or just noise. Every other industry that scaled; eCommerce, SaaS, fintech, gamingm built their Business Intelligence layer first. The creator economy hasn't had that moment yet. THE SOLUTION GYST unifies revenue data across every platform; YouTube, Shopify, Patreon, brand deals, events, products, into one intelligence layer powered by Gio, our AI Chief Revenue Officer. Gio answers: - What's actually profitable? - Where am I leaving money on the table? - What should I price this at? - What's predictable vs. noise? - What new products should I introduce? and more. WHO WE SERVE Portfolio creators with: - 3+ revenue lines - $50K+ monthly revenue - At least one operator (COO, manager, partnerships lead, manager) MY BACKGROUND 25+ years scaling businesses. Built & scaled operating models for banks, Business Intelligence systems for startups through to enterprises, and market infrastructure for fintechs. First-generation kid of a migrant family. Growth leader and female leadership advocate for 25+ years. Now bringing that analytical firepower to the creator economy. LET'S CONNECT If you're an content creator business/ operator dealing with revenue fragmentation, let's compare notes. I'm documenting how top operators are solving this. DM me.
