Tubi pledges $250,000 with Kickstarter to fund indie creator projects

Business Insider’s Lucia Moses reports Tubi is putting $250,000 into a new Fandom Fund with Kickstarter. Eight to 15 creators split $150,000, while one project gets $100,000 in matching funds for a full film or series launching in 2027.

Why it matters. Creators who take the funding keep their IP while granting Tubi only a limited exclusive window, giving emerging talent leverage that bigger streamers’ deals often don’t.
