Streamforge, an AI-based business intelligence platform for the creator economy, has successfully closed a $1.2 million seed funding round in March 2025. The round was led by AQC Capital and Anges Québec, with continued support from existing investors Triptyq Capital and Telegraph Hill Capital. New investors include the StarForge Fund and several angel investors.
This funding will support the launch of Streamforge’s free tier, a strategic move aimed at accelerating user acquisition and democratizing access to powerful influencer marketing technology. This positions Streamforge at the forefront of the “freemium” trend in marketing technology (MarTech), where robust free access drives user growth and network effects.
Since the introduction of its free tier, Streamforge has seen its user base grow by an impressive 260%.
In conjunction with this, Streamforge is rolling out a new, powerful Audience Analysis tool, developed in strategic partnership with Google AI. This feature offers brands unparalleled demographic and psychographic insights across major social platforms, setting a new industry standard.
With the influencer marketing sector projected to reach $306.9 billion by 2033 with a 34% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), Streamforge’s freemium model and advanced analytics are set to rapidly scale user adoption and drive innovation in this booming market.
Founded in Montréal in 2018, Streamforge specializes in AI-driven business intelligence, connecting brands with creators across platforms like Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, leveraging billions of data points to optimize influencer discovery and campaign effectiveness.
KEY QUOTES:
“AQC Capital is excited to back Streamforge as it brings next-level business intelligence to the creator economy. Its powerful technology helps brands navigate the influencer landscape with precision and scale.”
Stéphane Caron, Partner at AQC Capital
“We launched the free tier to remove barriers. If you’ve built something truly valuable, you shouldn’t need to charge to prove it. Great data should speak for itself. We want everyone to master influencer marketing by accessing powerful insights, no matter their budget.”
Streamforge CEO and Co-Founder Xavier Constantin
“Yes, other audience analysis tools exist out there, but we deliver more than guesswork. Our analysis uncovers behaviours and interests that even social platforms themselves don’t fully grasp. Great marketing starts with truly understanding people, and that’s exactly what we provide.”
Nick Lombardi, Streamforge CTO and Co-Founder
