Nebula

Nebula is an American media company and streaming service founded and owned by Dave Wiskus and a group of independent YouTube creators, with a minority share owned by the streaming service Curiosity Stream. It employs over 80 people as of 2022. Sam Denby serves as Chief Content Officer. It was founded as part of Standard, a sponsorship management company.
The service's business model includes a split of 50% of the profits directed to the participating creators, paid out based on watch time. Its stated goal is to not be beholden to an algorithm like YouTube, however it also claims not to be a competitor to the platform.
==History==
The company Standard began as an offer by the founder of Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell, Philipp Dettmer, sent to Sam Denby of Wendover Productions, making a friendly offer together with CGP Grey and Dave Wiskus, a sponsorship agent who has worked with them to provide better deals for creators in regards to sponsorships. Standard would launch Nebula in 2019, forgoing the venture capital funding normally acquired for a streaming service.
In 2021, the service would receive an investment by the streaming service Curiosity Stream at an evaluation of $50 million.
