Overview
Grin, Inc. sells GRIN, a creator marketing platform for brands. It covers finding creators, running gifting, affiliate, paid and UGC programs, and paying creators from a funded escrow wallet. Its AI agent, Gia, drafts outreach and runs program tasks so a team can manage creator programs without spreadsheets and manual outreach.
For Shopify brands

How it works
A brand tells Gia what it wants, and Gia finds matching creators, builds the program and drafts the outreach for the team to review. The brand chooses how hands-on to be, funds a wallet to pay creators, and GRIN holds creator fees in escrow until payout. Setup of a first campaign can take as little as 10 minutes.
