Marketplaces, AI, and manufacturing are converging around one figure: the independent creator.
Three trends, one figure
Crafters Market and CortexViral aren't isolated bets — they're two sides of the same thesis.
The next generation of businesses will be built by creators empowered by AI and precision manufacturing.
Why now
- Distribution has been unbundled by marketplaces and social.
- AI has collapsed the cost of great marketing and code.
- Manufacturing has never been more accessible to small teams.
The creator has never had more leverage. WIG builds the infrastructure that leverage runs on.
