Chuz is built by a small, dedicated product team at COTA Inc., focused on long-term tools & services for creators.
Hi, I’m Ye.
I’m the founder of chuz.space, built by COTA Inc.
For the past 20 years, I’ve worked with dozens of Fortune 500 brands, leading campaigns focused on one thing: driving real results — not just impressions, but decisions.
Over time, I noticed a growing problem.Brands weren’t struggling to find creators.They were struggling to decide who to work with.
There were too many profiles, too many portfolios, and too many conversations that led nowhere.
On the other side, creators — especially everyday creators like moms — were spending hours chasing brands, sending links, and answering the same questions again and again.It was inefficient for everyone.
I tried existing tools. Some made it easier to build pages. Others made it easier to showcase content. But none were designed for what actually matters in a collaboration: clear information, fast evaluation, and serious intent.
So we built chuz.space.
Not just as a page builder —
but as a decision layer between brands and creators.
Today, we help creators present themselves with clarity, filter out low-quality inquiries, and get discovered by brands that are ready to work. And we help brands move faster — from browsing to deciding, without unnecessary friction.
Because in the end, it’s not about having more options — it’s about making better decisions, faster.

Founder, Chuz
COTA Inc.
chuz is not built from assumptions. It’s built from lived creator experience.
Our entire team — product managers, designers, and engineers — are active UGC creators. We pitch brands, negotiate rates, deliver content, and handle inbound inquiries just like you.
That means every feature in chuz is shaped by real creator pain: unclear briefs, low-quality inquiries, unpaid “exposure” requests, and portfolios that fail to convert serious brands.
If a feature doesn’t help creators protect their value or close better opportunities, it doesn’t ship.
We operate as a small, focused team with a hybrid setup — combining remote work with in-person collaboration.
Our core team is based in a shared work community, where product, design, and strategy decisions happen face-to-face. This balance helps us move fast without losing alignment or quality.
chuz is not a side project. It’s a long-term product we’re building for the creator economy.
chuz is built to help creators get paid — not exploited.
We don’t sell creator data. We don’t prioritize brands over creators. And we don’t design features that encourage free work.
Our success depends on creators succeeding first.
Create a simple profile, and get discovered by brands looking for real-life UGC.
