Why Traditional Banks Still Fail The $250 Billion Creator Economy
Young female vlogger recording video tutorial session of finance and economy getty Despite millions of followers, lucrative brand deals and thriving content-driven businesses, many creators still hear the same answer from traditional banks: "No." The creator economy, valued at $250 billion today, is projected by Goldman Sachs to grow to $480 billion by 2027. Yet most financial institutions still assess risk through outdated lenses - W2 forms, consistent pay checks and long credit histories. This often leaves even high-earning creators struggling to access essential banking services. Today's creators operate as entrepreneurs, running media properties, launching products and generating income across diverse streams. But traditional banks often lack frameworks to assess this kind of business activity. Terms like CPMs, brand integrations, or affiliate marketing are foreign to many underwriters. The gap is conceptual. Banks designed for traditional employment structures rarely serve the needs of content entrepreneurs whose earnings fluctuate and diversify quickly. Last month, Karat Financial launched Karat Banking, a business banking platform for creators. Features include FDIC-insured accounts, tax planning tools, up to 3.00% APY, and service discounts with companies like Epidemic Sound and Spotter. In Alexandra Botez's case, despite her sizable digital audience and income, she was rejected twice for a business credit card. 'Karat approved me for a business credit card when other banks rejected me twice despite being a creator with millions of followers,' she said. 'They actually understand what I do as a business and I'm excited for their new business banking launch.' Lindsey Lugrin, co-founder of FYPM, shared a similar experience with traditional banking limitations. 'I hate traditional banks. They have no understanding of what I do so I signed up for Karat business banking and I'm already getting more in yield on my checking account than I did before,' she said. Forbes This Creator-Backed Startup Went From Social Media To Walmart In Record Time By Ian Shepherd Karat's model aims to rethink creditworthiness by incorporating creator-specific metrics like audience size, engagement and revenue consistency. This strategy has supported over $1.5 billion in credit and advances to creators such as Wendover Productions and Nick DiGiovanni. Other financial providers see similar patterns. Alex Kaplan of Breeze noted: 'Creators have gotten a little bit smarter and a lot more sophisticated on what they look for… Before it was like, you can't use the word loan. Now creators get it.' He added, 'If no one's telling you what it costs, it costs a lot.' Why Timing Matters This shift toward financial products tailored for creators coincides with broader changes in digital business. Entrepreneurs like Nadya Okamoto and Mino Lee are building companies from the ground up using content as their primary growth engine. Yet many still juggle piecemeal financial solutions. Karat's approach, while still evolving, aims to consolidate banking, bookkeeping and tax tools under one roof. Forbes What Every Creator Should Know Before Launching A Digital Product By Ian Shepherd The Future of Creator Finance As the boundaries between creator and entrepreneur blur, the need for financial services that accommodate non-traditional business models is only growing. Liz Zavoyskiy of MEP Capital sees the opportunity: 'There's an estimated market size of 12,000 creators on YouTube, making $500,000 or more per year'. She added, 'We've heard a lot of myths and misconceptions… that it's volatile, that it's low quality IP… But really, if you find the right types of content, it can, in fact, be very high quality and very investable.' While Karat's offering is just one response to this structural gap, it underscores a larger point: creators need financial systems that reflect their realities. Whether or not any single solution becomes dominant, the path forward will require more banks and more investors to understand creators as serious business operators. Forbes How Top Creators Outsmart The Algorithm By Ian Shepherd Takeaways for Creators Know Your Worth: Traditional financial systems may not reflect your true business value, especially if your income comes from multiple digital sources. Track and consolidate your financial performance data to present a complete picture.

Consider the terms, repayment models and whether your lender understands the creator business model. Build Infrastructure Early: Sustainable creator businesses require more than content.

Whether you're working with a bank, platform, or investor, prioritize partners who understand the nuances of your work and support long-term growth. Diversify Revenue Streams: As many creator-focused financiers point out, top earners typically have five or more income sources. Expanding beyond AdSense or sponsorships can help you access better financing and stability.

Amazon-backed creator startup Spotter lays off staffers. Read the memo from its CEO.
BI was unable to determine the exact number of employees affected, but the layoffs impacted teams across the company. "As the macroeconomic environment continues to evolve, we've made the difficult but strategic decision to implement organizational changes, including a reduction in the size of our team," a spokesperson for Spotter told BI. The spokesperson said the cuts will help "accelerate our path to profitability by the end of this year." Spotter is a major player in the creator space. Last year, it attracted funding from Amazon as part of a larger deal to work with Spotter's creator partners. The company's talent pool includes MrBeast, Dude Perfect, and Ryan Trahan. Spotter, which was founded in 2019 and is also backed by SoftBank, built a business buying the rights to license creator content. In March, the company said it had paid out over $950 million to creators. That month, Spotter hosted a splashy pitch event in New York for creators and advertisers. The company said this week's layoffs did not impact Spotter's advertising sales team. The cuts mark Spotter's second round of layoffs in the last six months. The company laid off employees in November, a spokesperson previously told The Information. Spotter is not the only creator content licensing startup to cull staff in the past year. Jellysmack, a competitor that shares Softbank as an investor, made cuts in October amid a restructuring. Some startups focused on creator services have failed to meet growth expectations, industry investors previously told BI. Spotter also offers AI-powered products to help creators come up with video ideas, titles, and thumbnails. It runs an advertising business connecting brands with creators as well. Read the email Spotter's CEO Aaron DeBevoise sent to employees this week announcing the job cuts: Team, Today, we've made the difficult decision to part ways with some of our teammates. I understand today is challenging - particularly for those impacted. These changes were thoroughly considered, particularly given recent economic uncertainty and volatility, which have further impacted investors' demand for efficiency and profitability. Despite our success in Q1, it has become clear that in light of the economic environment, we must make targeted changes to accelerate our path to profitability and control our own destiny. To our impacted teammates: We are so thankful for your contributions which have been critical to advancing our mission to help Creators win. We have already sent calendar invites to all impacted employees for conversations today where you will learn about next steps. We are committed to supporting these team members as they transition to their next opportunities. Thank you. Aaron

YouTube Brandcast Regulars Like MrBeast And Dude Perfect Slated For Separate Creator Upfront
YouTube's annual Brandcast event for advertisers presents top creators as vehicles for commercial messages. This year, the growth of the sector has enabled MrBeast, Dude Perfect and other top-tier creators to get a spotlight for marketers independent of YouTube's event. Spotter Showcase, named after creator-focused tech and licensing firm Spotter, will be held in New York City on March 27. About 150 marketing and advertising execs are expected to attend. The timing puts it several weeks before Brandcast and the dozen or so media, streaming and digital upfront presentations slated for New York in May. More from Deadline 'Andor' Season 1 Episodes Head To Hulu & YouTube Ahead Of Season 2 Premiere On Disney+ A+E Networks Rebrands As A+E Global Media, Renames Ad Sales Unit A+E Media Solutions Oscars Ad Inventory Sold Out, Disney Says, With Pricing In Line With 2024 Confirmed to participate are MrBeast, Dude Perfect, Kinigra Deon, Ryan Trahan, Rebecca Zamolo, Jordan Matter, and other creators who have often been featured in the past during Brandcast. Conversations will be led by fellow YouTubers Colin & Samir, who are also producing the event alongside Spotter. The creation of the Spotter Showcase attests to the steady growth of viewership on YouTube, which routinely outdoes Netflix and other streamers, commanding more than 10% of all viewing through a TV set on a monthly basis, according to Nielsen. YouTube last month revealed that viewing through a TV screen now exceeds viewing on mobile and laptops, a landmark reversal of the longtime use case for the Google-owned video giant. At the same time, with traditional linear viewing declining along with the number of pay-TV households, the glitzy blitz of upfronts that used to pack the calendar between February and May has thinned noticeably. Paramount Global no longer stages an annual in-person upfront, hosting smaller-scale client dinners instead, and The CW has also has vacated its longtime perch due to cost cutting at parent Nexstar Media. While other traditional media companies have continued the ritual, they now face stiffer competition during the main upfront week from deep-pocketed tech firms Amazon, Netflix and YouTube. Creators at the Spotter event will detail their content calendars, formats, tentpole series, audience data, and development plans, giving marketers an up-close look at creator-driven and long-form YouTube entertainment. Added together, the channel proprietors scheduled to be part of the showcase drew more than 77 billion minutes of viewing in the U.S. among adults 18 to 24. 'Spotter Showcase will help brands reach today's top YouTube Creators, giving them direct access to the voices shaping culture and driving consumer engagement. It's not just about ad placements—it's about deep consumer attention and fostering authentic collaborations that give brands access to the unrivaled scale, trust, and engagement of Creator audiences,' Spotter founder and CEO Aaron DeBevoise said.
