GEM Services
GEM’s ecosystem is built around a set of connected products that move a project from discovery to payout.
GEM Now is the main VOD hub for finished films and projects, while GEM Streams covers all creator streams, ongoing channels, and “going live” broadcasts. GEM Live powers real‑time premieres, watch parties, and classes, and GEM Fund Me lets fans directly fund upcoming or in‑production projects. GEM Advertising manages sponsorships and placements and also lets creators pay for ads to push their campaigns deeper into the GEM ecosystem. GEM Merch handles creator and platform‑branded merchandise, GEM Link is the networking layer for collaborators, and GEM Data provides performance and audience analytics. Treasure Chest holds all earnings generated in the ecosystem, which creators can cash out and use to pay cast, crew, and collaborators.
