Start a campaign based on what you have already made: an idea, a trailer, or actual episodes. ArchTV wants to see you go all the way to a 60-episode series that monetizes like crazy, regardless of where you start. We bring the funding, the data and the audience to get you there.
ArchTV is a mobile app where stories are watched, shared and monetized. ArchMarket is where fans and funders choose which stories get made, and participate in revenue from those choices.
Every creator here sends their audience to the same place. Someone arrives to back one campaign and finds yours beside it. Their people become your potential backers, and yours become theirs. That pool gets larger every time another creator joins, and it keeps growing after your campaign closes.
This is the part you cannot get by running a campaign on your own site or on a general crowdfunding platform. There, you reach exactly the people you brought and not one more. Here, the audience for AI-native genre series is pooled, and you are raising in front of all of it.

Each raise funds the next step rather than the one you have already taken: a Pitch pays for the trailer, a Trailer pays for the run. The clock starts when the money is called, and the deadline is the day it goes live on ArchTV, not the day you hand it over. Miss a date and there is a short window to put it right before the campaign is closed and what is left in escrow goes back to your backers. While a campaign runs we measure everything it does, and those numbers are what funders read before they back the next step. Each step, funders put up more money at less risk.
What do you have right now?
No campaign, no goal, nothing to raise. Upload it and it starts earning when the app launches. Keep running it anywhere else you already are: this is not exclusive and it never asks you to take it down.
Everything on ArchTV is made with generative AI and that is the whole point of the platform. We do not take live-action production. If your work is shot on camera this is not the right home for it, and we would rather say so now than after you have built a campaign around it. That applies to finished series arriving at Upload exactly as it does to everything else.
How we make money
We never take
A title that finds an audience can open a Series Round: a regulated raise that funds the whole series, in exchange for a capped share of what that one title earns. Your earlier backers get first access. You are the issuer through your own company, which we form and pay for and recoup when the round closes, so you are never out of pocket. Rounds run through a licensed funding portal and are not open yet.
If the title does not earn it back, you do not owe it. The note is repaid only out of that title's revenue. It is not guaranteed by you personally, by ArchMadison, or by anyone else, and no shortfall is recoverable from you. A title that earns nothing pays nothing, and the capped return is what an investor is paid for taking that risk.
Your title gets onto ArchTV without any of this; the extra material is what gets it promoted. Deliver three trailers and ten short clips alongside a title and it becomes eligible for promotion on ArchTV: a turn in our own trailer slot, the watch-to-earn trailer viewers play to earn coins, plus home-screen placement. From there, placement rungs grow with the installs you drive.

One thing we hold, and it stays yours
A funded Short Run raise is a securities offering, so your title gets its own company and you own it. That company has running costs whether anyone watches them or not: its formation, its EIN, its registered agent, its state annual reports and its federal tax returns. We hold a $2,500 deposit out of your raise and pay those bills for you, at cost. The deposit covers three years, which is how long the company runs. At the end of the third year it closes and we settle up: if the bills came to less you get the difference, and if they came to more we bill the company. From that point your title's earnings come to you directly. We do not keep any part of the deposit and it is not a fee. The 5% campaign fee above is separate, and that one is ours.
The reason this exists is a number worth knowing before you own a company: a missed federal Form 5472 is a $25,000 penalty, per year, per company, and it is owed by a first-time filer who has never heard of the form exactly as much as by anyone else. Holding the money and making the filing is how that never happens to you.
A Pitch or a Trailer has no company and no deposit.
