For creators

You built it. You shouldn’t have to sell it alone.

Gibly is for people who make good software and would rather spend their time on the product than on becoming a one-person marketing department.

Join the Founding Circle How it works

Your product, in teal, among others. The same thread it was before, now with something holding it up.

01The challenge

A product is not yet a business.

Shipping is the part you’re good at. A sustainable product business also needs a steady way to be found, reasons for customers to stay, and partners who send work your way. Each of those is a second job.

Large companies solve this with headcount. Independents usually solve it with evenings, or not at all.

The jobs nobody mentioned

Distribution
Being found by the right people, repeatedly, without paying for every visit.
Partnerships
Finding, vetting and negotiating with the creators whose products fit yours.
Packaging
Turning one useful tool into an offer that answers a whole problem.
Trust
Giving a stranger enough confidence to pay a company of one.

02What Gibly is being built to do

Discovery and distribution

Be found through the people who already have your customers.

A profile for you and each product you make, searchable by audience and category. Not a listing that sits and waits: a starting point for other creators to find you, and for Gibly to bring you buyers.

On your own
Launch days, search ads and hoping the right person scrolls past.
In the ecosystem
Partners and ecosystems introduce you to audiences that already trust them.

Planned features: Creator and product profiles · Searchable discovery · Collaboration recommendations

Cross-selling and partnerships

Recommend each other, and be paid properly for it.

When your customer needs something you don’t make, you’ll be able to point them to a creator who does, and earn when they buy. Attribution is tracked for you, so a referral is a line in a report rather than a favor you hope is remembered.

On your own
Informal shout-outs, affiliate links that break, no idea what worked.
In the ecosystem
Tracked referrals, shared campaigns and a clear view of what each partner brings in.

Planned features: Partner matching · Referral attribution · Shared promotional campaigns · Revenue insights

Joint products and bundles

Sell a whole answer, not a piece of one.

Combine your product with complementary ones into a single offer with one price and one checkout. Who contributes what, how revenue is divided and who supports the customer are agreed up front and written down.

On your own
A customer assembles five tools themselves, or picks the big suite instead.
In the ecosystem
A joint offer that competes with the suite, built from products that each stay independent.

Planned features: Bundle configuration · Contributor agreements · Joint pricing · Revenue allocation · Subscription management

Reusable AI capabilities

Build on what exists. Earn when yours is built on.

If you’ve made an agent, an integration or an API that others could use, publish it with clear pricing, permissions and version history. If you need one, find it instead of rebuilding it. Verification is planned to help creators judge what they can rely on.

On your own
Every creator rebuilds the same parsing, scheduling and summarizing features.
In the ecosystem
Capabilities are made once, reused widely and paid for by usage.

Planned features: Capability discovery · Usage-based pricing · Permission transparency · Independent verification

03Ownership and independence

Joining changes who you work with. Not who owns the work.

Gibly is not an agency, an incubator or an acquirer. These are the principles we intend to hold to. Founding members will help turn them into terms.

The Creator Charter

Working draft

You own what you build.
Your code, brand and intellectual property remain yours. Joining does not transfer ownership of your product to Gibly.
Non-exclusive by default.
Sell wherever else you like. Taking part here doesn’t stop you taking part anywhere.
Your price is your call.
Standalone pricing stays under your control. Bundle prices are agreed by the people in the bundle.
Splits in the open.
Revenue allocation and commission rules are written down and visible to every contributor.
Customers come with consent.
Customer data moves between partners only with appropriate consent and access controls.
Clear responsibilities.
You remain responsible for your product. Every joint offer names who supports the customer.

These principles may evolve before commercial launch.

04Commercial participation

How you’d earn, in plain terms.

No income promises: what a creator earns will depend on the product, the partners and the customers. What we can describe is where the money is intended to come from.

How money is intended to moveProposed model · rates not set
Source	What happens	Who earns
Marketplace distribution	Gibly brings a creator a sale.	The creator keeps the sale. A fee may apply to sales the platform generates.
Cross-selling	A creator introduces a paying customer to a complementary product.	The referring creator earns a referral. Gibly may retain a portion for attribution and payments.
Collaborative bundles	Several creators sell one shared subscription.	Contributors divide revenue by rules they agreed. Gibly earns a platform fee.
Usage-based capabilities	An agent, API or integration is used by other creators.	Its creator earns according to usage.
Optional creator services	Deeper analytics, promotion and collaboration tools.	May be offered as paid plans later. Not required to take part.

This describes the intended model. Fees, rates and plans have not been finalized and will be worked through with founding members.
