Creator Monetization Redefined --- Empowering Creators to Control, Grow, and Monetize Their Brand Creators are driving billions of dollars in subscription revenue on platforms that are simply not creator-first. These platforms offer no control or ownership over creators' data and content, and they constantly change the rules to benefit themselves. While creators are the ones driving these platforms’ success, they’re forced to pay more just to engage their own fans and followers. COY is an all-in-one platform designed to empower creators to take full control of their content, audience, and revenue. Our suite of tools enables creators to manage and monetize their brand seamlessly—without the need for teams or technical expertise. We provide the infrastructure for creators to build their own online presence with full data ownership—no more being at the mercy of platforms and their ever-changing algorithms. www.coycreator.com is the first product incubated in TMW Capital’s venture studio, TMW Labs.
