We are looking for people with unique passions, expertises, skills, and insights to share their world and connect to their communities on our next generation livestreaming platform.

Our community of Heygoers is already attracting creators all around the world with a powerful tipping culture, boundless spirit of exploration, and some of the most rewarding human connections you’ll find — online or off. It’s a beautiful place to start from, and we have so much more to explore.

I've already launched my idea

+ At Sigmund, we are interested in ideas at the intersection of People, Planet, and Profit. How does your idea relate to these three categories?

We are a creator-first platform, meaning our guides are at the heart of the company, intimately sharing their worlds with us in incredible, inspiring ways. We’ve built a true global community around those shared travel experiences, and given so many people new insights into our planet than would have ever been possible before. We want the vast benefits of world travel to be accessible to anyone with an internet connection without the physical, financial, or environmental barriers of tourism as usual. We want creators to be rewarded for their work, earning tips from their first tours, without ads, owning their own enterprises, and maintaining full creative control of their content. It’s a wonderful thing to see those elements come together and allow our guides to thrive. And when they do, it rewards our work building the platform too, financially, socially, and personally.
