Influencer Marketplace for SMBs & Startups
Self-serve influencer marketing marketplace connecting brands with content creators. Vancouver Canada, accessible platform for growing brands.
Creator.co is a self-service influencer marketing marketplace that connects brands with social media creators and content producers for sponsored content campaigns, product reviews, and brand collaborations. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Creator.co has built an accessible platform designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, startups, and growing e-commerce brands that want to run influencer marketing programs without the enterprise pricing, dedicated account management requirements, or complexity of larger influencer platforms. The marketplace model makes it easy for brands to post campaigns and receive creator applications without maintaining large influencer databases or running manual outreach.\n\nCreator.co's platform provides campaign posting tools where brands define their brief, desired creator profile, and compensation model — whether paid, gifted, or commission-based — and receive applications from interested creators in the platform's network. Brand teams can review creator profiles, social statistics, and portfolio content to select the best fit, then manage the collaboration workflow including brief communication, content submission, approval, and payment through the platform. The focus on accessibility and transparent pricing makes it well-suited for brands new to influencer marketing or running ongoing creator programs on modest budgets.\n\nCreator.co competes with other self-serve influencer marketplaces including Intellifluence, Heepsy, and the entry-tier offerings of larger platforms. Its positioning serves a distinct segment of the market below the mid-market and enterprise platforms like Grin, Aspire, and Traackr, providing adequate influencer discovery and campaign management capabilities at a price point accessible to smaller brands. The platform has grown its creator network across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and blogs.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
