For curators

A career of expertise, beyond your calendar.

Babav gives experts like you a way to curate what you know, making it useful to more people, and we give you a share of the revenue for doing so.

The challenge

You’re limited in how far your expertise reaches, and what it is worth, to people and to you

The channels are the limiting factor. Not the knowledge.

The Babav way

A platform without the limitations.

You have spent years building judgment, methods and hard-earned lessons. Babav is another way for that knowledge to exist, reaching further, staying current, and paying you for the value it creates.

01

Unlimited reach

Your knowledge curated once, then available to everyone who needs it, without a meeting, a slot, or a ceiling on numbers.

02

Answered in your terms

Your method, your sources, your judgment, delivered as written answers, visuals and ready-to-run outcomes, so people can put it to work.

03

Current, not fixed

Update your knowledge and every answer updates with it. Nothing goes out of date the day it ships.

04

Paid for the value created

A share of the revenue on what you curate for as long as it is used, not a one-off fee for your time.

How curators earn

Your knowledge, your terms.

Two ways to earn, and you decide how far to take either. Babav’s share is stated plainly, for both.

Half of subscription revenue is shared among curators, by how often what you curate is added to workspaces.

What curating involves

Four evenings, not four years.

Three simple steps to becoming a Babav curator. You choose what belongs, we help score its value, and nothing is published until you approve it.

01

Choose the material

Your papers, methods and references, hard-learnt lessons included. Whatever the format: documents, slides, notes or scans. You decide what belongs.

02

Scored on the way in

Each document gets a knowledge value score against what you already hold. Repetition is flagged; you decide what stays.

03

Measured in use

A heatmap shows which parts of your knowledge base real answers draw on, so you know what to maintain and what to retire.
