This panel will bring together a range of mediatech startups addressing monetization through tools and automation for creators to discuss the various paths forward for the streaming economy. From StreamElements, which provides creators with a tipping system, merch services, and more, to Overwolf, an all-in-one platform for creating, sharing and monetizing in-game apps and mods for the top games, these founders are providing the proverbial pickaxes in the post-pandemic streaming goldrush.
