How Stan would pitch themselves

● Editorial
01Target customer

Creators (especially fitness, coaching, OnlyFans-adjacent) selling digital products + booking 1:1s + courses to mobile followers via Instagram/TikTok.

02Problem they solve

Linktree gets you the click. But the destination — Squarespace, Gumroad, Calendly — was designed for desktop. Mobile conversion is 1-2% (vs. 5-10% desktop).

03Key differentiator

Mobile-first storefront — vertically scrolling Apple-style product cards, single-tap checkout. Conversion rates 2-3x Linktree-to-Gumroad funnel.

04Go-to-market strategy

Creator-led TikTok marketing showing real income screenshots. Affiliate program (creators earn 30% recurring on referrals). Influencer partnerships with mid-tier creators.
