Kuna unlimited AI tools to create anything, yet the internet’s current obsession is generating AI covers of oldies like Malebo. 💀
The irony is wild. Human creators have to either work 10x harder to prove "authenticity," or watch algorithms mine and monetise your nostalgia. tsk

@irenemutuzo Congratulations

[WAHU KIRAGU @WahuKiragu]

I shared this to put it out to the universe.
Fully doing this alone. Apart from consulting partners on IP, data and security.
I believe the version we have is ready for testing and would appreciate a diverse test group.
If interested.
WHATSAPP [phone]

I'd be honored.

[WAHU KIRAGU @WahuKiragu]

I am done waiting for someone to build something for us. So we built it.

Our tools provide well-anchored and industry-benchmarked rate estimates to help musicians, content creators, and influencers know how much to charge for partnerships,use of their works or even for their social media platform ad space.

[WAHU KIRAGU @WahuKiragu]

You're leaving money on the table every single time.
Or you are being undervalued.
11/13

[WAHU KIRAGU @WahuKiragu]

Creatives and creators aren't just making content; they're creating Intellectual Property (IP).
​When a brand uses your face, voice, or your style, they are licensing an asset. But if you don't know the valuation of that asset, you can't negotiate a fair licensing fee.

[WAHU KIRAGU @WahuKiragu]

As a creator, When a brand asks for your rates, do you feel a moment of panic?
​Most creators either:
1. ​Undercharge because they’re afraid to lose the deal.
2. ​Guess based on what a friend told them.
3. ​...(I'm curious here)
9/13

[WAHU KIRAGU @WahuKiragu]

And they will also provide well anchored and industry benchmarked rate estimates to help content creators and influencers know how much to charge for partnerships, insta story markets, or even how much to license their works for to other brands
I am done waiting.

[WAHU KIRAGU @WahuKiragu]

I can't actually believe I am putting this out.
Anyway, so our tools do not mean to compete what traditional IP valuation entities do,
We just uncomplicate the process using AI and technology.
They will help you as a creative and creator have a preliminary valuation ..
7/13

[WAHU KIRAGU @WahuKiragu]

But..it helps to have a preliminary figure because agaon..the truth is, it appreciates. But how would you tell the growth if you can't atleast put estimates to its worth??
Get me???🙈🙈🙈
6/13

[WAHU KIRAGU @WahuKiragu]

Their creativity could be worth. Because traditional IP valuation is done within the confines of the legal system mostly for acquisition, investment or litigation.

But how can you value something whose worth you know not??
And to be honest. Art and creativity is priceless

5/13

[WAHU KIRAGU @WahuKiragu]

Because this is me getting out my head and actually building something I felt and knew was wanted and needed.
Driven by the simple reality I have encountered coaching and training over 1000 creatives and creators.

Most creatives dont know how much
