The next-gen label for culture moving creators, turning influence into franchises.

GSM ENTERTAINMENT

The label model,
rebuilt for streamers

Streamers drive culture. Almost none of them own it.

Live creators pull tens of millions of hours of attention a year, and nearly all of what they earn is rented from a platform: subs, gifts, ads. When the stream ends, nothing they built stays theirs.

GSM backs culture-driving livestreamers the way a label backs an artist, with money to grow, a team behind them, and shared ownership of what gets made. Unlike music, we are built to capture the full upside.

Capital

Recoupable advances so creators can grow faster and stop living stream to stream.

Infrastructure

A full team across content, production, operations, and brand, working behind the creator every week.

Co-ownership

Shared upside in the IP, products, and long-term brand equity we build together.

One creator
funds the next

Every signing makes the next one cheaper, faster, and better informed.

Success compounds across the roster. Reach, data, and equity from one creator fund the capital and the infrastructure behind the next, and the IP portfolio grows with every cycle.
