After decades combined in the creative industry, from classical music stages and Sennheiser's tech lab to building nightclubs and working with the world's biggest artists, we kept seeing the same truth. The most brilliant people we knew were held back by their single biggest pain point: getting paid, and paying others. We watched our friends and colleagues, the people who shape culture, lose their time to invoicing, chasing payments and managing the paperwork around them. And behind every one of them stood an agency, a label or a platform drowning in the same problem at a hundred times the scale. The existing tools were built for accountants. They were clunky, confusing and completely disconnected from the way this industry works.
As best friends who had lived together in Vienna, served as each other's best man, and built our lives in the creative world, we knew we were the ones who had to solve it. So we are building Talentir: the payout solution we and our friends always wished existed. It runs payouts for businesses that pay large numbers of creators, sellers and freelancers worldwide, carries the liability behind every payment, and connects to the tools people already use. Our mission is to take the pain out of payouts, so the people being paid and the teams paying them can get back to what they do best.
We are this industry. We've lived it. Talentir started with creators, and the creative economy is still where our heart is. Today we build for everyone who pays people at scale: agencies, brands, labels, marketplaces and platforms. We build it with our community, listening to the challenges on both sides of every payout. Talentir is our way of supporting the community that raised us, ensuring that passion, not paperwork, is what drives you forward.
