A note from the team
We built the tool we couldn't buy.
We started running UGC the way everyone does: DMs, spreadsheets, Venmo, and a folder of contracts nobody read. It worked until it didn't, usually at the exact moment a campaign started working.
So we built SideShift for three reasons: creators should apply to you instead of you chasing them, you should see which creator is actually making you money, and paying twenty people should not take a weekend.
Since then, $100M+ has been paid out to creators through the platform, and 1M+ creators are on the other side of it. We build it in public, and the roadmap is whatever brands hit a wall on this week.
