Overview

  • Watrfall lets fans invest in the company and its inaugural slate, vote on which projects get funded, participate in creative steps, and view transparent financials.
  • Creators submit scripts and pitches and retain creative control while Watrfall’s team helps manage funding and monetization.
  • Investor terms include 100% of net profits from the initial slate plus 5% of platform profits thereafter.
  • The platform uses Republic’s SEC-regulated film vertical for compliance, Walrus for on-chain high-definition video delivery, and Seal for access control.
  • Co-founders include Ron Perlman, Michael Donovan, Dana Landry, and Willie Morris, with public investing set to open at watrfall.io on Aug. 22.
