GawkBox's vision is to enable content creators on Twitch, Mixer and YouTube to make a better living. There are close to 2M active live streamers in the world, yet over 99% of them earn under $4,000 per year from their efforts.

We talk to content creators every single day. They are some of the most passionate and driven folks you will meet and they LOVE broadcasting content. While the overwhelming majority would love to make the jump and broadcast as their full time career, the truth is that most cannot. They create content for more than 40 hours per week, but have to work another full time job to even pay the bills. Our vision is to change that. We want to enable broadcasters to earn a livable income from their content. We want to enable broadcasters to make the jump into a career and life that they love.
