Kulcho
Kulcho

Your new home for earning on the internet.

One place for content, community and commerce.
Get paid under your brand and own your audience.

Trusted by creators, agencies and publishers.

The core problem

You built a following, but platforms keep the value.

The audience that you’ve grown belongs to the platform, it stays with them rather than you.

Zero ownership

Your members, their payment details and the data all sit with the platform. When the rules change, you start again from zero with nothing to carry over.

Brand fragmentation

Memberships in one app, products in another, tickets in a third. Every handoff to a checkout in someone else’s brand quietly costs you fans and sales.

Borrowed reach

An algorithm decides which of your followers ever see you. As content gets cheaper to make, you fight to be seen by the audience you already earned.

You make the content, you bring the views, but yet you have limited control, it all belongs to someone else.

Introducing Kulcho

One platform to create, sell, and get paid.

The commerce layer modern content businesses run on.
Sell directly from your own website, on your own terms.

The relationship is yours

No algorithm sits between you and your audience. They sign up on your domain, to a list you can always reach and take anywhere.

The revenue is yours

Set your own pricing and earn direct and recurring revenues that amplify your business and reduce platform dependency.

The plumbing is ours

We provide enterprise infrastructure and compliance that your member experience sits on. No technology headaches required.

Your brand, your domain, your rules.

The direct shift

The money has moved direct to consumer.

The publishers that went direct are the ones that grew. Goalhanger, the podcast network, is the live example.

14 shows. 8 paid clubs. 250,000+ members.

Every episode stays free. Members pay for early access, ad-free feeds and bonus episodes, on each show’s own site.

Ads still run on every show. Subscriptions started in 2022 and now make up 40% of all revenue.

The Guardian 71% of Guardian US revenue is paid by readers, not advertisers; $81m a year.
The Telegraph 83% of revenue comes direct from readers. Ads built the paper, but now it’s just 17%.
New York Magazine 400,000+ subscribers, making up over 60% of all revenue. Previously 95% advertiser funded.

Studio: build it yourself

Empower your product team to achieve more.

Kulcho as infrastructure. You design and ship the experience, while we handle the backend that powers it.

What you get

  • REST API and SDKs for the surfaces you already ship
  • Webhooks into your CRM, warehouse, or internal tools
  • Headless by default, so the front end stays entirely yours
  • Composable so we can integrate with your existing services
  • A sandbox to build against, then the same APIs in production

Studio is for using Kulcho’s developer tools and platform infrastructure to build unique experiences, rather than using a template.

Our commitment

You do content and growth, we handle the rest.

A clear line between what stays yours and what we take care of, agreed before we start.

Yours to own.

  • Your brand, domain and community
  • Your customer insights and data
  • Your design and user experience
  • Your content and catalog
  • Your pricing, promotions and revenue

Ours to run.

  • Hosting, uptime and security
  • Payment processing and payouts
  • Customer support and operations
  • Compliance and data protection
  • Product engineering and roadmap

Why Kulcho

We have sat on both sides of the table.

Here is who we are, who we work with, and the terms we hold ourselves to.

We are operators too

We have been in businesses like yours and so understand the pressures and constraints. We’re here to help achieve your goals.

Your brand, not ours

Your audience only ever interacts with your brand on your domain. We run everything in the background without ever being seen.

Aligned economics

We only win when you win. We offer transparent terms with zero lock-in, and a clean exit with your data whenever you want it.
