The number of active streamers on Twitch has grown from 4.5 million in 2019 to more than 9 million per month. The number of viewers has grown at the same rate. Every day more than 30 million people tune in to watch streamers. TOP streamers are becoming the most influential people in the world and their income reaches 6 + figures. To succeed in such a steep competition is more and more difficult. And that’s where Czech startup – StreamBee – comes to help.

Just a few years ago the live streaming was an entertainment mostly exclusive to gamers. Since then, a lot has changed and Just Chatting is the most viewed category on Twitch. TOP streamer Ninja claims to make around $500.000 per month on Twitch. Worth mentioning is also streamer Ludwig, who has streamed for the entirety of April non-stop, (including his sleep) has made more than $1.4 million in revenue. Success is however not limited to just US streamers. Czech Streamer Vojtěch „Agraelus“ Fišar, who has currently more than 530.00 followers on Twitch has been ranked amongst most influential Czechs by magazine Forbes.

The way we pass our leisure time has radically changed over the past years. Gen Z and Gen Y play the key role in this trend. An ever-increasing number of people present and share their hobbies, skills, and life moments through social media and online platforms. On top of the already established written, audio, and VOD (video-on-demand) content, live streaming has been experiencing an unseen growth. Everything connected to content creation falls under the industry and ecosystem called “Creator Economy”. The tremendous growth of this industry can be compared to the growth of the startup ecosystem a few years ago. The same way entrepreneurs and small businesses require tools like WordPress (to create web pages) or Stripe (to receive payments) today’s and tomorrow’s creators require their dedicated tools as well. There are now hundreds of startups working on building professional tools for the creators and we’re proud to be one of the top 200.
