GigaStar rang the opening bell at the NASDAQ.

On Monday, August 31st, members of the GigaStar team joined fellow 2025 Chicago Innovation Award winners to ring the NASDAQ opening bell in New York, marking a milestone moment for the Creator Economy.

GigaStar was honored with the Up-And-Comer Award this past November, recognized among more than 300 nominees for building the first platform where fans can become Investors in the Creators they already support, sharing in future YouTube revenue through an SEC-registered offering.

"Ringing the NASDAQ Bell alongside this year's Chicago Innovation Award winners is a proud moment for our whole team," said GigaStar CMO Sarah McNabb. "GigaStar was built to give everyday people direct access to the Creator Economy through a regulated, trusted infrastructure, and this recognition is a testament to that mission. We're honored to represent Chicago's innovation community on this stage."
