Noise wants to help everyday people become paid content creators

Noise’s platform connects brands with creators, paying per view across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. The startup raised $5.5 million in a seed round led by Capital Midwest, M25, and Girshin Robotics, bringing total funding to $7.2 million. It hosts 1.5 million creators, including top earners making over six figures annually. Noise launched an Organic-to-Ads program that lets brands run creators’ videos as paid ads on Meta and TikTok while creators keep control of their posts.
