For Funders
Get in early on the creators Hollywood ignores.
ArchMarket is where independent, AI-native series get made — funded directly by the people who want to watch them. You back the ideas you love, watch them prove out on ArchTV, and invest in the ones that work.
The three stages
Concept — back it, and lock your seat
RewardsA creator drops a trailer or first episode and runs a short campaign to fund the first 10 episodes (~$5K). Those episodes go live on ArchTV, where everyone — you included — sees the real numbers: views, signups, coins spent. You back it with a small pledge and get perks, ArchMarket coins, and the reward that matters most: a priority seat to invest when the series round opens. This stage isn't charity — it's where you call the winners before anyone else can.
Round 1 — invest in the series
Reg CFWhen a concept's 10 episodes prove they convert, the creator opens a regulated raise (~$25K) to fund the full 60-episode series. You invest a small amount — capped at $1,000 per person — and earn a share of that series' revenue, up to 2.5× your money, then it caps. Concept backers walk in first. Your money sits in escrow and releases to the creator as episodes are delivered.
Round 2 — back the franchise
Reg CFA series that worked comes back for a second season and raises again (~$25K, capped at 2.0×). Round 1 investors get first access — because this is the safe version of the bet: you're not gambling on a pitch, you're investing in a proven franchise. Think Fast & Furious 5, not The Fast and the Furious. James Bond. John Wick. Mission: Impossible. The sequel was always the surer money.
Why back more than the minimum?
Backing is rewards, so a bigger pledge doesn't buy a bigger return — it buys a better position into a round that's capped and fills fast:
Invest in Round 1 before the public, plus coins and a creator credit.
A guaranteed allocation, so you're not fighting for a seat when the round opens.
The earliest window, a guaranteed seat up to the full $1,000 cap, founding-backer status, and a bigger coin grant.
Seats in a good round are scarce. Backing early and backing more is how you make sure you get one — first.
What protects you
- All-or-nothing rounds — if a raise misses its goal, you're not charged.
- Hard-capped returns — you can model your best case up front; no open-ended promises.
- Milestone escrow — investment dollars release to the creator as they deliver, not before.
- A $1,000 ceiling per person — built for a portfolio of small bets across many creators, not one big swing.
Spread small bets across a slate of concepts. Watch them compete on real ArchTV data. Convert into real investments in the ones that win — first, and on the best terms. A portfolio of the next generation's franchises, built $50 at a time.
