commercialising culture
Building user-generated content businesses that bring global revenue and well paid jobs to the Nelson region.
the opportunity
User-generated content (UGC) is created on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Roblox — where anyone can upload content, build an audience, and generate revenue.
The UGC opportunity isn't about influencers getting paid through ad revenue and brand deals - it's creator founders building deeply engaged audiences as distribution channels to sell their goods and services.
how we capture value
Views don't matter. Engaged community does. We identify the right platform and niche to build audiences that connect.We plan revenue opportunities from the start — not just ads and brand deals. Products, services, game spend all creating sustainable revenue.We're partnering with and investing in creators, storytellers, game builders - anyone who has the founder mindset and understands the UGC opportunity.
how we work
We work like a production company — finding talent and building teams — but for user-generated content platforms. We handle operations, creators focus on their audience.
Creators earn salaries plus equity. Everyone shares in success. It's partnership, not employment. (Sugar Cubes for everyone. IYKYK)
