About Us

Collab, Inc (collabcreators.com) is a Downtown LA based video creator development company and the leading independent network for multi-platform talent. Collab was started by veteran video creators to help make the lives of independent creators easier and to provide everything they need to succeed creatively and financially. We specialize in working with mobile video creators and helping them build their audience and earnings across multiple platforms (YouTube,musical.ly, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, etc). Our network includes over 1,000 of the top social media creators with over 700 Million Followers. We are also a digital studio that produces original shows for digital platforms.

We are YouTube’s recommended partner for content protection in North America, and partner with other media companies and libraries in that capacity. Web development and related technology enables much of what we do, and we are entering into new partnerships that raise the bar for our UI/UX/Product needs. We plan to grow the department and build lots of great products for our partners and coworkers in 2018.
