About the movement

Who we are:

We are a team of experienced Envato authors and successful startup entrepreneurs who have witnessed the transformation of digital marketplaces over the years. Our journey in the digital marketplace world has equipped us with unique insights and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by professional authors and creators. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our goal is the same: to create a marketplace that genuinely serves both creators and consumers.

Our motivation:

Our motivation stems from the evolving landscape of digital marketplaces. We've experienced firsthand the challenges and frustrations that come with declining sales, shifting focus to subscription models, and a lack of transparent communication. These challenges are not just ours but shared by a community of creators who feel sidelined in the current marketplace dynamics. Inspired by our own experiences and the shared frustrations within the author community, we witnessed a worrying trend. Having a special understanding of the needs of authors motivated us to create a new marketplace.

Our Vision:

We envision a digital marketplace that rekindles the spirit of creativity and fair opportunity for all authors. A platform where quality and innovation are rewarded, and the community of creators and customers is at the heart of every decision. We believe in a marketplace that not only celebrates the diversity of digital products but also provides a transparent and equitable environment for both authors and customers.

Our Goal:

Our goal is to create a marketplace that resolves the prevalent issues in existing platforms such as ThemeForest and CodeCanyon. These issues include:

  • The overwhelming promotion of subscription models over individual item sales, leading to reduced visibility and revenue for authors.
  • Quality concerns and security issues with items due to market saturation and diminishing returns for creators.
  • The lack of adequate support for products, with lower-priced items often leading to abandoned projects and poor customer experiences.
  • A diminishing sense of community and communication between platform management and content creators.

In our new marketplace, we aim to reinstate the values of transparency, author empowerment, and customer satisfaction. We are committed to creating a platform where every author's work is valued and every customer's needs are met with the highest quality products.
