Our Story

A Cult? Not really, but we love our community of counterculture.

How did it all begin?

We're artists too — and we were done watching platforms and agencies eat up the value we created. We’ve seen booking fees bloated beyond reason. Creatives underpaid. Businesses overcharged. So we built something different.

Countercult is by creators, for both sides of the scene. It’s built to work better — for those who make culture, and for those who need it.

We do take a commission — but it’s a small, transparent cut that goes directly back into the community to fund fair pay, platform support, and growth.

No inflated cuts. No polish-over-substance. Just a direct line between those creating culture and those ready to invest in it.

In about a year we’ve grown our community to hundreds, gone international, gotten too many creatives booked where we had to create this platform to streamline the process, and built a core team that’s bringing experience from companies like Patreon, the Museum of Modern Art, NY Fashion Week, and more!

Part of our mission is not only creating a bridge from businesses to creatives, but also to work with creatives on their business development. Subscribe to our newsletter for our curated picks of opportunities and events.
