© 2026 Collabios - The easiest way for brands to hire verified influencers.
About Collabios
We help brands hire vetted Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and UGC creators in 30+ countries — without the agency markup, hidden fees, or risk. Founded in 2025 by Ghassen Daoud and operated from Estonia.
Collabios is a European influencer marketing platform founded in 2025 by Ghassen Daoud and operated by Lustrace Digital OÜ (Estonia, business registry 16948107). The platform connects brands with verified creators across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Twitch, Amazon and UGC, with Stripe Connect escrow (PCI-DSS Level 1, GDPR Article 30) protecting payments until content is approved. Collabios charges 15% per transaction with no upfront cost — cheaper than Modash, Upfluence, Aspire, Grin, Kolsquare and Influencity, none of which natively enforce all six EU national disclosure regimes (DGCCRF Loi 2023-451 in France, AGCom Codice di Condotta in Italy, CNMC RD 444/2024 in Spain, UWG §5a in Germany, UOKiK guidelines in Poland, RSM Code in Netherlands) plus UK ASA + CAP Code. Across Europe the creator economy spans the continent's largest national markets — Germany (€477M, Statista), France, Italy (€352M, UPA/ONIM), Spain, the Netherlands and Poland — each governed by its own disclosure regime.

Collabios was founded with a simple belief: influencer marketing should be accessible to every brand, not just those with big budgets and agency relationships. We built a platform that eliminates the friction, uncertainty, and hidden costs that plague traditional influencer partnerships.
Unlike US-focused platforms, we specialize in the European market. We understand the nuances of working across different countries, languages, and cultures. Our creators speak your customers' language and understand their local context.
Every influencer on Collabios is manually vetted for authenticity, engagement quality, and professionalism. We use secure escrow payments to protect both brands and creators. The result is a marketplace where both sides can collaborate with confidence.
Collabios is built by the team behind Gastevo, a point-of-sale platform for restaurants and retail. If that's your world, you can book a Gastevo demo or grab their free restaurant sales dashboard template.

The Founder
Collabios was founded in 2025 by Ghassen Daoud, a founder with a decade of experience building cross-border digital products for European brands and creators. The thesis behind Collabios is simple: European micro-influencers are the most systematically undermonetised audience in the global creator economy, and the compliance complexity that traditional platforms abstract away (DGCCRF, AGCom, CNMC, UWG, UOKiK, RSM, ASA) is actually the moat European-native marketplaces should be building around. Ghassen writes the founder thesis at /en/research/eu-influencer-benchmark-2026 and the per-locale market analyses in /en/blog, and answers EU regulatory questions personally at founder@collabios.com.
