💡 SaaS Idea: Influencer Campaign Escrow with Milestone Verification

Escrow and contract workflow for brand–creator deals. Brands deposit funds; release tied to verifiable milestones (post URL live, minimum views/engagement after X days). Built-in templates, dispute resolution, creator/brand reviews, and payouts via Stripe Connect/Wise. API to plug into existing outreach CRMs.

Why it's a good idea?

Problem & Idea

Brands still get burned paying creators upfront; creators fear brands won’t pay after delivering. An escrow‐style workflow tied to objective milestones (post URL live, X views after Y days, etc.) promises to remove that distrust, streamline contracts and automate payouts.

Evidence of Demand (Forums / Communities)

  • 10+ recent Reddit threads in r/influencermarketing and r/SocialMediaMarketing (Jul–Aug 2025) asking exactly for “a way to escrow payment”, “avoid influencers ghosting after being paid”, “reliable influencer payment platform”. These posts have dozens of up-votes and comment chains recommending partial solutions; none name a dominant product.
  • Linked evidence supplied by the user (r/influencermarketing post from 2018) shows the same pain has existed for years.
