Our story
Meet the Founder
Collink was created by Salma Chleuh to make collaborations between local brands and content creators simpler, faster, and more authentic.
After years owning and growing a family business, Salma saw how difficult it was for local brands to consistently find the right content creators — and how exhausting cold outreach was for creators trying to land real collaborations.
Working closely with restaurants, social media, branding, content creation, and videography gave her firsthand insight into the growing gap between businesses needing high-quality content and creators looking for real opportunities.
That's why she created Collink — a modern creator networking and collaboration platform designed to help local businesses and creators connect more easily for UGC, Reels, TikTok content, photography, videography, and social media partnerships.
Building in Chicago, Salma is also the founder of Growth by Salma and co-founder of Bon Appétit Crêperie.
Today, Collink is focused on building a better, more accessible way for creators and businesses to discover each other, collaborate, and grow together.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Are all creators verified?+
Creator profiles and portfolios help you evaluate fit. Universal identity verification and portfolio review are coming soon; demo badges are illustrative, not verification guarantees.
What does it cost?+
Collink offers flexible plans for both creators and businesses. Free Starter plans are available, with optional Pro and Elite upgrades that unlock more visibility, messaging, analytics, discovery tools, and lower platform fees. Platform fees are 10% on Free Starter, 7% on Creator Featured or Business Pro, and 5% on Elite. They are deducted from the collaboration amount before creator payout, not added as a second charge to the business.
How does payment work?+
Businesses pay the agreed collaboration amount plus applicable tax. The platform fee is deducted from that amount before the creator payout, not added again. Automatic creator payouts are coming soon; Collink does not promise regulated escrow or same-day payment.
