## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2020 PearPop Inc. operates as an online platform that allows ordinary content creators to collaborate with their favorite artists, musicians, experts, and other celebrities and make money. The company was co-founded by Cole Mason, Spencer Markel, and Guy Oseary and is backed by investors including Seven Seven Six, Bessemer Venture Partners, Sound Ventures, and Slow Ventures with participation from famous celebrities and individuals through the Seed and Series A funding rounds in April 2021. Pearpop employs about 20 staff as of April 2021.

PearPop, which is integrated into another social media platform TikTok, helps content creators make money by collaborating with other creators, through making a shared video, leaving a comment, or incorporating someone's sound clip into a post.

The company generates revenue by taking a 25% cut of every transaction between the content creator and the celebrity or artist. Prices vary depending on the particular request and the popularity of the artist or celebrity.

Pearpop plans to increase the collaboration market to different social networks, together with Instagram, in the close to future. It also plans to launch apps for iOS and Android (at present it’s web-only), which can present higher notifications and options like a dashboard for creators to trace collaborations and metrics.
