Founding Creators
Build your audience
on a platform that won't abandon you
Circuli is a social network built around circles — interest-based communities with chronological feeds and zero algorithmic interference. We're looking for a small group of founding creators to help launch it right.
The Problem
Mainstream platforms have failed your community
If you create content in any niche that doesn't fit the algorithm's preferences, you've felt this.
👻
Shadowbanning
Your posts exist but nobody sees them. No explanation, no appeal, no recourse.
📉
Algorithm suppression
Content that doesn't drive ad engagement gets buried, regardless of how good it is.
🚫
Arbitrary policy changes
Rules change overnight. Communities built over years disappear with no warning.
📣
You don't reach your followers
Organic reach on most platforms is under 5%. You're paying to reach people who already followed you.
🎰
Engagement farming wins
Rage-bait and low-effort content outperforms genuine community building every time.
🏗️
You're building on rented land
Every follower you have on another platform is one policy change away from being gone.
What Founding Creators Get
Real benefits for the people who show up first
This isn't a generic early access program. Founding Creator status is permanent and meaningful.
✦
Permanent Founding Creator badge Forever
Visible on your profile and every post you make. Can never be earned after launch — only the first group gets it. A genuine mark of being here from the beginning.
⭕
First-mover advantage in your circle
The people who build audiences on Circuli first will have the largest followings when the platform grows. You don't get to go back and be early. Early is now.
🎯
Input on your circle's hashtags and structure
You get a say in how your niche is organized on the platform — which hashtags route content to your circle, how the circle is described, what it's called.
📢
Promoted by @circuli during launch
The official Circuli account will actively highlight founding creators and their content during the launch period. Your audience on Circuli starts with a boost, not from zero.
💰
Priority access to creator revenue sharing Phase 3
When Circuli launches creator monetization — where circle creators earn a share of ad revenue generated in their circle — founding creators get first access and favorable terms.
🛠️
Direct line to the founder
You're not submitting a support ticket. You get a private channel with direct access to give feedback, report issues, and shape what gets built next. Your experience actively informs the product.
What We Ask of You
Simple. No long-term contracts.
We're not asking you to abandon your other platforms or sign anything. Just show up.
1
Post consistently during the first 90 days after your circle launches
Even once or twice a week makes a difference when you're one of the first voices in a circle. We're not asking for daily output — just consistent presence.
2
Tell your existing audience you're on Circuli — once
A single post, story, or mention to your followers on other platforms. That's it. No sustained promotion campaign required.
3
Give us honest feedback when something isn't working
We genuinely want to know what's broken, confusing, or missing. A founding creator who tells us what's wrong is more valuable than one who just says everything is great.
4
Engage with others in your circle — not just post
React, comment, reply. The early community feels alive when creators participate in it, not just broadcast into it.
Who We're Looking For
Community voices, not just follower counts
We're not chasing mega-influencers. We're looking for people who are genuinely trusted within their niche.
