What upstageX is
upstageX is a web platform for brands that discover creators and manage influencer campaigns and deals with Xerxes AI. Its creator database contains 100 profiles, with tools for creator discovery, campaign management, performance analytics, and creator payments. Xerxes AI can draft campaign briefs, match creators, reveal collaboration insights, and suggest pricing. A single workflow covers deliverables, milestones, approvals, revisions, and tracking. Funds are held in escrow and released by milestone after approval; the site requires a signed contract before funding. Digitally signed contracts are generated, while contracts, approvals, and payouts remain in a permanent deal record.
