At favorited, we believe that digital communities should be more than just spaces to watch content. With backing by a16z and other heavy hitters in the tech and entertainment space, we’re redefining mobile live-streaming as a fully interactive, gamified experience. Our platform is a place to connect, engage, and play, and empowers creators by enhancing audience participation, fostering deeper connections, and ensuring that creators are compensated fairly for their work. Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone.
