Take Selen for example. Self funded chibi avatar and NijiExpress, a VR world.
The smart chuubas in her org (Pomu, Rosemi, Luca) saw that and instantly got on board (no pun intended). Comissioned their own chibi models.
Later on went to self-fund Nijisanji Square, another VR world for her anniversary stream, bringing in more people in her org for HER event.
She recently self-funded Raptorlen, a JC model to tide dragoons over as she waits for her 3D.
Also commissions lofi songs Hope in the Dark, Black Out, Black Out Anthem, with full on music videos.
All while this is happening, she's shaking hands with ancillary content creators in the industry, like Kanauru and Tachibana and countless others, building good will as she writes the checks
And now she's commissioning animations from a variety of animators to build even more good will.
Furthermore, she's constantly organizing largescale collabs, presenting herself as a leader.
Compare that resume to Petra or Elira, and tell me you'd hire. Selen knows what her golden ticket is worth.
