Fan-funded videos · Shared revenue
Invest in your favorite creators.
Creators raise the budget for their next video from the fans who want it made. When it earns, a share comes back to every Pal who backed it.

How it works
One video, three moves.
- 01
Creators pitch
Describe the bigger video you've wanted to make. Palvest drafts the proposal and forecasts it from your channel's own numbers.
- 02
Fans back it
The people who already watch everything you make fund it before it's shot, from $5.
- 03
Everyone shares the upside
Once it's live, a fixed share of what the video earns goes back to every Pal, pro rata.

Under the hood
Numbers you can check.
- Forecasts, not hype
- Expected views come from the channel's last 20 long-form uploads, weighted toward similar videos. AI drafts the pitch; it never touches the numbers.
- A ledger for every payout
- Each distribution is split pro rata in whole cents, so every line adds up exactly to the pool.
- Money moves through PayPal
- A backing counts only once PayPal confirms the capture. Revenue goes back out as a PayPal Payouts batch.
- Creators keep the video
- Pals share revenue for a fixed term. They never own the video, the channel or the creator's company.
