Become a founding creator
Create. Promote. Connect. Sell. Earn. We're selecting the first 10 to 25 creators for the Exchange's launch in early 2027.
Who can apply
- Creators based in any African country or the African diaspora
- Original work, or work you're properly licensed to sell
- Able to describe, price and deliver what you list
- 18 or older, or applying with a parent or guardian
What you get
- A studio page for your story, portfolio, video and products
- Trackable links to share on social media and VIVEX
- Five core lessons: telling your story, photographing your work, pricing for profit, selling live, and shipping and rights
- Support from our creator success team
You don't need to take EKYOTO courses or appear on EKYOTO Live or Get Noticed to sell. Applying doesn't guarantee selection or sales.

Fees
Our working proposal is that creators receive 85% of the item price and EKYOTO 15%. The final fee schedule will be in the seller agreement before you list anything.
| Example: $100 item | |
|---|---|
| Item price | $100.00 |
| EKYOTO commission (15%) | $15.00 |
| Your allocation (85%) | $85.00 |
Shipping, tax, payment processing, refunds and currency conversion are treated separately and shown clearly. If a sale comes through an affiliate referral, how that fee is shared is agreed in advance. Payouts are calculated on settled payments.
