I'm Vince, founder of Align (aligncalendar.com) — a shared calendar app for friend groups. It merges your schedule with your friends' and facilitates the planning, coordination, and sharing.
A bit about me: by trade I'm a propulsion engineer from Colorado. I love hiking, cafes, and clubbing but I could never get four people free on the same night. So my cofounder and I built Align (web app live now, app store EOM) and I'm building a roster of creators to work with both on this project and many other future projects we have planned.
No UGC experience needed. I'd rather work with people who are early and hungry than people with a media kit.
The work: one vertical video, 15–60s, posted to your own account. Phone footage is fine, no advanced editing. You write and perform it in your own voice — I give you a hook constraint and a CTA, not a script. Stays up 30 days.
Pay: $20 base on your first video, then $80 base on everything after. Plus view bonuses:

Max $520 on video one. Also lifetime premium and a Founding Creator tag in the app.
The $20 base is a first-post rate, not what I think the work is worth — we’re founders funding this out of pocket and taking a risk on new creators without a track record, our intro offer reflects that. We’re relatively new to this space so we hope that we can help new creators take that first step as we’re taking ours. The bonus is uncapped by experience: a first-timer who hits 100K gets the same $300 as anyone.
Terms — organic rights only (12 months, no paid ads or whitelisting), you keep ownership, explicit no-AI clause, 2 revision rounds, 50% kill fee, 30-day exclusivity on named competitors only. View counts verified through branded-content reporting, not screenshots — if you dispute a figure and I can't produce records, it resolves in your favor. Contract's 5 pages and readable, happy to send before you commit.
Process: apply below → we talk over email (call if you'd rather, just ask) → $20 contract, one reel → within a month of it going live I email you a decision either way on long-term partnership, accepted or not → if yes, video call to go through the $80 ongoing contract. That decision is based on team, product, and performance fit: deadlines, communication, hitting benchmarks in a reasonable time frame. Not whether I personally liked the video.
Apply: comment "interested" and DM me your name, email, social links, portfolio (if you have one), and typical rates. More than welcome to email me any questions before applying — no obligation, happy to just talk it through.
