UGC Delivery Lock

Paid-preview and licensing links for UGC creators who currently deliver first and chase payment later

Problem
UGC creators often hand over finished videos and then wait 30 to 90 days for payment, sometimes discovering their 'organic' content is running as a paid ad. Creators lack a lightweight tool that adds constraints between delivery and payment, so they end up undercharging or chasing invoices.
Solution
Creators upload a watermarked preview and generate a brand-facing link. The brand selects a usage license and pays the creator directly on the page; clean files unlock automatically after payment. The platform takes 0%, never touches funds, and only provides delivery and license records.
Users
Independent UGC creators, small content studios, and brands buying UGC ads
MVP
Watermarked preview upload and share link; license options with price config; auto-unlock of clean files after brand payment; exportable delivery and license records
Revenue
Creator subscription for hosting and license templates, or one-time purchase per delivery; an add-on compliance certificate pack for brands
Why now
UGC ad spend keeps growing in the short-video era, yet payment-protection tooling for creators is nearly nonexistent; Stripe/PayPal make a lightweight combo quick for an indie to validate
