DealFlow
Sponsorship CRM for creators - track deals, approve scripts, send invoices, and never miss a brand deadline again
The Problem
YouTubers and podcasters managing 5-20+ simultaneous sponsorships lose deals and money due to disorganization: missed posting deadlines, forgotten script approvals, late invoices, lost contract terms, no visibility into which brands paid vs ghosted them. Email threads become unmanageable. Spreadsheets break. Brands get frustrated and don't renew. Creators leave $10K-50K on the table annually.
The Solution
Centralized sponsorship command center where creators track every deal from contract signature to payment received. Automated deadline reminders, script approval workflows with brand feedback tracking, one-click invoice generation, payment status monitoring, FTC disclosure checklist, and analytics showing which brands pay on time vs which require follow-up. Essentially a lightweight CRM purpose-built for creator sponsorships.
