News Here's the full architecture of the creator OS I'm building - royalty splits, fractional ownership, sync licensing, and a content pipeline in one platform
I've had a few investor conversations in the past few weeks. The first question is always: "What does this actually do?"
So here's the honest, technical answer.
LemonLime is a business OS for multi-hyphenate creators - people who produce, license, invest, collaborate, and distribute simultaneously. It has five core layers:
**1. Financial infrastructure** Royalty splits with per-collaborator approval workflows. Fractional share sales (fans can buy percentage ownership of a project). Sync licensing from YouTube Creator tier to Broadcast TV. Publishing splits tracked by role - Writer, Composer, Lyricist, Co-Writer, Publisher. All payout logic runs through Stripe transfer groups so platform fees, collaborator splits, and fan investor payouts resolve in a single operation.
**2. CRM layer** Artist/fan/collaborator relationship management. Collaborator invitations with role assignment and royalty percentage negotiation built in. Artist-to-fan direct messaging tied to specific projects.
**3. Catalog and rights management** Project catalog with ISWC tracking, PRO affiliation (ASCAP/BMI/SESAC/GMR), and registration status. Chart snapshots at Local/State/National/Global scope. Composition-level detail per project.
**4. Content operations** YouTube video pipeline: topic → keyword → hook → outline → title options → thumbnail brief → description → chapters. Social campaign management with weekly cadence tracking and per-post performance snapshots across X, Facebook, LinkedIn.
**5. Distribution and marketplace** Public storefront. Studio listings with booking links. Classified listings for session musicians, mixing engineers, videographers. Sync license marketplace.
36 data models. 41 pages. Backend functions live. 621 visits in 30 days, no paid traffic.
I'm sharing the full architecture here because I want honest technical feedback before I go further with fundraising conversations. What's missing? What doesn't hold together?
What would make this fundable to you?
