How it all started
· The idea
Marcell streams on Twitch, and for a long time his channel was considered too small for sponsorship deals. At the same time, we kept hearing from brands how hard it is to reach a young gaming audience, and how often they pay for influencer reach that nobody can verify. Together with Franzi, who has been streaming for years herself, Marcell turned that into an idea: bundle lots of small channels so brands can book them together, and only bill what actually ran live.
The question behind it: why do small channels so rarely get sponsorship deals?
· Heilbronn
Soon after, Florian joined and was excited right away. The three of us took part in a startup programme in Heilbronn, and because the programme required it, that’s also where we founded PixelPact.
· Let’s go
In April 2026, the first streamers connected their channels, and on 30 April the first campaign went live.
· A new home, new platforms
In June, we moved to Dortmund. Marcell is from here, and the others don’t live far away. That same month, Kick and YouTube joined Twitch.
· The first client we’re allowed to talk about
VIDACTA Schulen was one of our first advertisers and let us talk openly about the campaign. We’re a little proud of that.

Since October, Michi and Thomas have joined us in sales. If you’re planning a campaign, you’ll usually talk to one of them first.
Our biggest push so far has come from streamers. Many of them told us early on to keep going, because they get more options and more freedom with us than elsewhere. Now we want more brands and agencies to get to know these communities.
