Catch&Release is a UGC creator platform and content-licensing marketplace that helps brands and agencies discover, license, and clear rights for "found content" — real videos, photos, and footage created by everyday people and creators — for use in advertising and marketing campaigns. Its workspace lets marketing teams search and curate licensable moments, send content calls to its creator community, negotiate offers, and handle the legal clearance and rights packages, while creators earn passive income by licensing clips from their camera rolls. The platform pairs a brand/agency workspace (collections, storyboards, teams) with a creator community, using an access-first, pay-for-what-you-use model. Added to the API Evangelist network from an Accel portfolio lead.
