Care to make a wager?

We’d bet you or someone in your immediate circle of friends and/or family have seen Squid Games on Netflix. And if you haven’t seen it, you’ve heard of it. It was one of those shows that people raved about for weeks. Halloween rolled around and folks innovated costumes after the show. Remember?

Well, don’t we all wish more shows and content like Squid Games existed? Well, it’s your lucky day. Look no further than ritestream’s upcoming Launchpad for the binge worthy shows and movies we all crave — but with an even better twist! Read on to learn more…

Countless awesome ideas are being pitched to networks on a daily basis that never receive funding and therefore never see the light of day. This is a disservice — to say the least — a disservice the visionaries behind the Launchpad’s media ecosystem in Web3 set out to mend. That’s right. ritestream’s Content as a Service model is here to fix that.

Okay, so let’s start with the obvious: what is this so-called Launchpad?

The New Kid on the Blockchain

Well, not to brag or anything, but aside from being a streaming service that wholly represents the voice of the people, ritestream’s upcoming Launchpad is a community supported platform where ideas and entertainment projects are presented by creators that seek funding from different — often unconventional — sources. It’s an intricate part of the ritestream ecosystem that sets us apart from traditional streaming platforms and traditional sources of funding that instead puts all that power and decision making (as well as revenue potential) into the hands of creators, investors, fans and audiences.

You know you want to know how that works. Read on!

Content for the People, Chosen by the People.

First, creators pitch their ideas on the Launchpad. Then, the community chooses to fund projects based on their interests and what they want to support.

It gets even better. Catapulting a project — show, movie, mini series — forward isn’t determined by a single investor or bigwig network. Anyone can buy into (invest in) a specific project from the aforementioned investors and big networks like Netflix to any old average Joe (like you and me).

Pretty cool, right? Someone please get ahold of Brit Marling and tell her this is how we get the final three seasons of the OA. The fans have waited long enough! Speaking of the fans: another aspect of the ritestream’s Launchpad that makes it so unique is that creative ownership stays with the creators. Plus, there are several opportunities for fans and audiences to not just invest in accelerating the project, but to earn money interacting with and rating the content, as well as connecting with the creators more closely in the form of purchasing NFTs.

Creative Ownership

For those imaginative minds that come up with the enthralling story lines, creative ownership is everything. Not only do they get a say in how their project is produced and launched, but there are also opportunities and direct access to capital funding (in a fraction of time)! We’re talking NOW — and not in years.

The Launchpad comes equipped with a built-in distribution network that spans over 200 countries, reaches over 100 million consumers, and is still growing.

And one of the more intriguing features of the Launchpad is the ability for everyone involved in the project — from the creators to the investors (including fans!) — to capitalize on the NFTs that will be created from it.

(NFTs will be created and bought and sold in addition to the projects up for investment, adding additional entertainment and exclusivity opportunities for investors. That’s where another aspect of creative ownership comes into play — all those fractional owners will get a piece of the revenue pie!)

The Perks of NOT Being a Wallflower

Seriously, if you’ve ever sat around wishing, “Dang, what I would have done to have invested in DogeCoin when it was .0000000000007 cents…” This is that moment for the Launchpad.

Surely you’ve seen the credits roll where all the executive producers and other fancy stakeholders in a movie or television show are mentioned.

Have you ever wondered how those people get their names mentioned? Well, hold the credits roll (not the phone, get it?) because next time it could be you!

Our Launchpad offers a unique feature to investors with tier investing that include different tiers of perks and benefits depending on the dollar amount invested that grants exclusive access and recognition. Why wouldn’t it be this way? You helped make the project happen, that is big time important!

Here’s an example of how the different ownership tier levels work:

  1. $500 tier,
  2. $1,000 tier,
  3. $10,000 tier (or even a $100,000 tier — and so on)

Investors at different tier levels will have different ownership rights.

Larger tiers could receive an “Executive Producer” credit on the film. Behind the scenes content. Meet and greets with the cast and crew, and so on.

Imagine watching a show or movie with actors or creators you love and seeing your name listed as an executive producer in the credits. This isn’t a fantasy! This is all tangible and happening for people like you — very soon!

Believe the Hype

Very soon, the term “Metaverse” will be as familiar as saying “Hey, Alexa…,” and you’ll be counting your lucky stars that you knew about the Launchpad and ritestream. Aside from what you stand to gain financially, there will be no more waiting years for the sequel you’re dying to see or to be traveling only to discover at the end of a long day the show you wanted to veg out to and decompress isn’t offered in your location.

The Metaverse is your curated virtual world and with ritestream’s Launchpad what you experience is up to you.

ritestream is on a mission to forever change the way content is monetized, streamed, shared and consumed. Come launch with us and be an early part of all the excitement!
