Our Story

Making Live Streams Safer for Everyone

We started ModStream with a simple mission: help creators focus on what they do best while we handle the rest.

Our Mission

To empower content creators worldwide by providing professional, reliable, and affordable moderation services that protect their communities and enhance their streaming experience.

How It All Started

In 2021, our founder Alex Johnson was a full-time WhatNot seller struggling to manage live auctions while keeping chat clean and engaging. After one particularly chaotic stream where trolls nearly derailed a major sale, Alex knew there had to be a better way.

That night, the idea for ModStream was born. What if creators could have access to trained, professional moderators on-demand? What if scheduling moderation was as easy as booking a ride?

Today, ModStream has grown from a small team of passionate moderators to a full-service platform trusted by thousands of creators across WhatNot and TikTok. We've moderated over 10,000 streams and continue to innovate in the live streaming space.
