RoundTable Backed by Antler: Our Next Chapter Begins

Big news - we're thrilled to announce that RoundTable has been announced in Startup Daily as one of just eight startups selected for investment by Antler in their most recent Australian residency. It's a huge milestone for us, and we're buzzing with excitement about what's ahead.

First, a massive thank you to the Antler team. Their support has been instrumental in getting us to this point. Antler's unique “Day Zero” approach - backing founders right from the idea stage - has helped us validate, build, and launch RoundTable at lightning speed. Being chosen from thousands of applicants for their 12th Australian residency, especially as they double down on AI and creator-economy innovation, is both humbling and energising.

As per my quote in the article:

“With RoundTable, we're creating new ways for creators to earn from their craft – connecting directly with superfans through live video experiences and unlocking a meaningful, sustainable new source of revenue.”

What is RoundTable?

RoundTable is tackling a huge challenge in the $250B creator economy: most creators struggle to monetise their most passionate fans. While 77% of fans want direct, meaningful interactions with creators, the majority of platforms still offer only passive, one-way engagement - likes, comments, follows. That means creators are leaving massive income potential untapped.

We're flipping the script. RoundTable empowers creators to host live, camera-on video experiences where fans and creators interact face-to-face. No more shouting into the void - just real, personal, VIP moments that superfans crave. For creators, that means new, high-value revenue streams. For fans, it's a front-row seat and a chance to be part of the action, not just a spectator.

We've just launched our beta, blending seamless live video with ticketing, so creators can start activating their superfans right away.

Why Now?

The creator economy is booming, but only 4% of the world's 50 million creators make more than $100K a year. That's a lot of creative energy - and a lot of superfans - going under-monetised. RoundTable is here to change that, giving creators the tools to build sustainable, meaningful businesses doing what they love.

What's Next?

This is just the beginning. With Antler's support and the momentum from our recent launch, we're focused on onboarding new creators slowly at first - making sure every experience is unforgettable - before scaling up as we raise further investment.

To everyone who's joined us on this journey so far: thank you. We can't wait to show you what's next.

Stay tuned - and if you're a creator or a fan who wants to be part of the RoundTable revolution, now's the time to get involved. You can start here: rtble.co/start
