Built by creators who didn’t believe the numbers.
Streamforge is an influencer marketing platform for creator discovery, audience analysis, competitive intelligence, campaign workflow, and data access by API.
Built for brands, agencies and game publishers. We started as a community of gaming creators in 2018, ran campaigns on our own data, and turned those tools into the platform we wanted to use ourselves.

Our story
From server admins to the people behind the data.
The short version: nobody was selling numbers we could trust, so we started collecting our own. The long version is here, in order.
2018
It started as a Discord server.
Xavier and Nick were both content creators when they met. Together they built a Discord community that grew from zero to 20,000 gaming creators. Then something unexpected happened: brands started showing up, asking to work with them. What looked like a community turned out to be a business.
The gap
Then we checked everyone else’s math.
Running the community meant living inside Twitch’s API every day. So when we compared what influencer marketing platforms were reporting against what the platform data actually said, the gap wasn’t subtle: the industry was running on stale, flawed numbers. We decided the only data we could trust was data we collected ourselves, and started building our own database.
The agency years
We ran real campaigns on it for years.
Before Streamforge was a product, it was our unfair advantage: a tech-backed agency running creator campaigns for gaming publishers on data nobody else had. Twitch first, then YouTube, then Instagram and TikTok, with reporting built for both the brands paying and the creators delivering. Every claim our data made got tested against a real campaign.
March 2023
We opened it up.
Years of data pipelines and reporting tools became a platform anyone could log into.

Today
The people behind the follower count, before you spend.
Brands, agencies, and gaming companies use Streamforge to see who’s really behind a follower count before they commit a dollar. The database covers 48M creators, and the methods behind the numbers are published on this site, limits included.
Founders
The two guys who started counting.
Xavier Constantin
Co-Founder & CEO
Before Streamforge, Xavier lived on the other side of the table: years inside large ad agencies, then running his own. It’s why agencies don’t have to explain their reality to us: retainers, pitches, reporting weeks. He’s been in those meetings.
Nick Lombardi
Co-Founder & CTO
A creator who ended up building the machine. Nick turned a Discord bot’s worth of Twitch data into the pipeline that now tracks creators on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X. He still treats “how fresh is the data?” as a personal question.

Our approach
What makes Streamforge different.
- 01
Our own data, with the methods in view.
We built our own creator database and used it to run campaigns before opening the platform to customers. Today, we publish how the data is collected and analyzed, what is estimated, and where the limits are.
See how we build the data - 02
Audience research across platforms.
Audience analysis is supported across YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, and X.
Read the audience analysis method - 03
Gaming is part of the foundation.
Streamforge uses IGDB as its source of truth for game and genre metadata, then applies proprietary techniques to connect that taxonomy to creators and content across social platforms.

About Streamforge
Questions people ask about us
Who we are, where the data comes from, and how to reach a person, answered plainly.
When did Streamforge start?
In 2018, as a Discord community that grew to 20,000 gaming creators. The founders ran creator campaigns for gaming publishers on their own data for years before opening the platform to customers in March 2023.
Who founded Streamforge?
Two former content creators. Xavier Constantin, Co-Founder & CEO, spent years inside large ad agencies and then ran his own. Nick Lombardi, Co-Founder & CTO, built the data pipeline that now tracks creators on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X.
Is Streamforge an agency or a software company?
A software company. Streamforge is an influencer marketing platform for creator discovery, audience analysis, competitive intelligence, campaign workflow, and data access by API. It began as an agency, where the data and reporting were tested on real campaigns.
Who is Streamforge for?
Brands, agencies, game publishers and studios use Streamforge for creator research and campaigns. Teams building their own software can access creator and audience data through the API.
Where is Streamforge based?
Streamforge is based in Montreal, QC, Canada. Our mailing address is 5605 Avenue de Gaspé, Suite 108, Montreal, QC H2T 2A4, Canada.
Where does the data come from?
Streamforge collects its own data rather than reselling someone else’s. Creator analysis combines directly supported evidence from creator profiles, published content, and other public web sources with model-inferred qualitative details. The methods, and their limits, are published in full.
How current is the data?
Freshness depends on the source, platform, creator, and field. Streamforge does not treat every field as universally daily; the right interpretation depends on what was measured and when it was observed. The refresh method explains what that means field by field.
How do I reach a person?
