Executive Summary

Many creators, sponsors, and audiences operate with asymmetric information about recurring revenue: of the roughly 50 million creators who collectively represent a $100.0B market (about $2,000 average annual income per creator), sponsors and collaborators often distrust screenshots or self-reported numbers, which reduces deal volume and pricing efficiency. This problem affects independent creators, podcast hosts, newsletter authors, and micro-influencers who rely increasingly on subscription income but lack a simple, verifiable trust signal for partnerships and product launches. You could build a service that connects to payment providers (Stripe, Paddle, etc.) to generate cryptographically signed MRR proofs and subscriber counts, expose machine-verifiable badges for creators’ public pages, and offer an API and dashboard for sponsors to audit claims; techniques might include signed tokens, Merkle proofs, and optional anchoring for auditability. The product would prioritize privacy-preserving disclosures (reporting aggregated MRR tiers rather than raw transaction data), configurable refresh cadence, and templates for sponsors and platforms to validate claims automatically. This opportunity is timely because subscription-first monetization and open payments APIs lower integration friction, creators are demanding trust signals, and macro indicators (market score 93/100, revenue potential 88/100) point to a serviceable market with medium competition and clear monetization paths through SaaS fees and verification charges. Differentiation will come from low-friction integrations, strong UX for onboarding, standardized verifiable formats that platforms accept, and explicit privacy and compliance design; realistic challenges include acquiring initial creator adopters, supporting fragmented payment stacks, and navigating regulatory questions about financial disclosures.
