BintanGo offers tools and services for digital content creators, including productivity and monetization features and financial assistance to creators. The company says it has onboarded more than 75,000 creators since launching in September 2021. Over the past 12 months those creators received more than US $2.3 million in platform payments. With its latest funding, BintanGo intends to expand its services to live commerce platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Shopee, and YouTube. The company highlights a local live-commerce ecosystem, noting Central Jakarta hosts 15 live commerce studios. Its product roadmap centers on enabling creators and studios to conduct live commerce and capture monetization opportunities on major social and e-commerce platforms. BintanGO offers creators a suite of monetization tools including CreatorSpace for managing brand collaborations, a marketplace for verified creators, and a video shout-out app similar to Cameo. The platform also provides invoicing, business-management tools and invoice-financing/early-payment solutions to address long payment cycles. CEO Jason Lee co-founded the company with Oktorika Mandasari and says BintanGO aims to help creators consolidate income streams and access financing normally unavailable to informal workers. The company monetizes via platform fees ranging from 1% to 5% depending on the service. BintanGO reported onboarding about 10,000 creators in the past month, with creators earning almost $150,000 over the previous three months. Its stated goal is to solve invoicing, payment timing and financing challenges for Indonesian creators.
