Question 1

What is STORI?

Accepted Answer

STORI is an exclusive, UGC network that auto-matches brands and creators that fit based on niche, budget, and values.

Question 2

Who can join?

Accepted Answer

Brands and creators that apply and accepted on the platform. Every account gets vetted by the STORI Team prior to being accepted onto the platform.

Question 3

How does matching work?

Accepted Answer

Brands post a brief. Based on matches, creators and brands can swipe on each other to find the ideal collaboration. Brands have the final call on who they work with.

Question 4

How do payments work?

Accepted Answer

Brands fund the brief up front. Once the brand approves the delivered content, the payment is released to the creator automatically.

Question 5

What are the verified badges?

Accepted Answer

After completing the verification call with a STORI Team Member, your profile gets a trust badge visible across the platform.

Question 6

What's the strike system?

Accepted Answer

Bad-faith behavior — ghosting, low-quality work, payment issues — gets flagged. After three strikes, a brand or creator will be removed from STORI, to ensure quality stays high for everyone.

Question 7

What happens if I get ghosted?

Accepted Answer

Brands and creators are each given response deadlines that are set through STORI.

If the brand does not meet the deadline (without requesting an extension to STORI prior), the money will be released to the creator.

And, if the creator does not meet the deadline (without communicating with the brand prior), they will receive a strike on their account.

Question 8

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

There are no monthly fees, retainers, or agency markups. STORI takes 15% fee on all paid deals.

Question 9

How do I get support?

Accepted Answer
