Is Gridd the same as the design studio with a similar name?

No. Gridd at gridd.agency is an X launch agency for AI startups. The company behind it is Goated Media LLC, registered in New Mexico at 1209 Mountain Road Pl NE, Ste R, Albuquerque, NM 87110. Any web design studio or grid layout tool with a similar name is a different business.

How many creators does Gridd work with, exactly?

We counted both databases on November 14, 2026 and merged them by X handle, so a creator on both counts once. Creators goated.so rejected are left out.

Gridd's roster and goated.so, merged by X handle, November 14, 2026.

A single launch casts 60 to 100 of them. Gridd used to quote 500+, the size of its own roster before goated.so; the 1,000+ figure counts both.

How are the creators picked?

Personal-brand creators only: real people your buyers follow. No meme pages, aggregators or faceless accounts.

Brands only ever see creators who pass goated.so's quality gate, which runs on every creator automatically:

  • At least 1,000 followers.
  • At least 300 median views per post, read from their own posts.
  • A post in the last 30 days.
  • A real audience: a large account whose posts reach almost none of its followers is left out.

For a launch, Gridd casts from that pool by median views for your audience, so the roster is the creators who actually get seen. You see every handle and the total quote before you sign.

What exactly does the guarantee cover?

  • What: one million views on your launch post on X, as X counts them on the post.
  • Where: written into your quote, before you pay.
  • If it falls short: Gridd adds creators until the launch post gets there.
  • Price: about $25K, about $25 per 1,000 views.
  • Proof: the report lists every creator post with its link and views.

Does a Gridd launch follow X's rules?

X allows paid posts when they are disclosed. Its Paid Partnerships Policy asks creators to turn on the Paid Partnership label, and every creator post in a Gridd launch carries it.

X's Authenticity policy bans coordinating or paying people to inflate likes, follows and other metrics. Gridd does not pay for likes, follows or replies, does not run engagement groups and does not ask creators to engage with each other's posts.

Each creator writes their own post about your launch, a quote of your post or a standalone post, and is paid for that post. Landing them inside the same hour is scheduling: every post is a separate, disclosed piece of content.
