Kilu

Kilu is a professional networking and collaboration platform designed specifically for the rapidly growing $528B global creator economy. Despite over 207 million active creators worldwide—including 80 million+ in India—there is no dedicated platform that addresses their professional needs. Today, creators rely on unstructured methods like Instagram stories or DMs to find collaborators such as editors, videographers, or photographers, especially when traveling. Similarly, brands struggle with manual discovery or costly agency partnerships to connect with relevant creators. Kilu solves this by offering a seamless, location-based networking experience where creators can build a professional profile using publicly available data from platforms like Instagram. They can discover collaborators nearby, showcase their work, and engage with potential partners. For brands, Kilu provides access to verified creator profiles, category- and location-based search, and the ability to post campaigns or events. What sets us apart is our end-to-end contract management feature—enabling milestone-based payments, legally binding digital contracts, and performance tracking to ensure transparency and trust. Kilu brings the structure of professional networking to the creator world, empowering both individual creators and brands to collaborate more efficiently and securely. We aim to become the go-to professional platform for the creator economy in India and globally.
