Pivotshare provides a self-serve platform that lets anyone upload audio or video and sell it directly to fans. The service handles hosting, CDN, payments and other technical steps so creators only need to upload and set a price. There are no upfront costs or recurring monthly fees; Pivotshare instead takes a portion of sales as its revenue model. The company aims to serve not just big-name comedians and filmmakers but also speakers, conference organizers, educators and other independent creators. It raised $1 million in Series A financing from new media investor TownsgateMedia. The move positions Pivotshare to compete with similar platforms like VHX and to capitalize on the growing direct-to-consumer media market.
