Backed by Twitch, the Guilds provide funding, educational workshops, and access to resources for securing coveted (and ideally more lucrative) brand deals. They’ve also helped streamers score elusive front page placement for bigger exposure and viewership. The Women’s Guild, the second act of the previous/born out of the Twitch Women’s Alliance, currently boasts several hundred members, and that number is expected to grow as affiliate streamers join its ranks. ChelseaBytes hopes in 2024 they’ll work with bigger companies like Herman Miller or an esports org, and that more Guilds will be created based not only on identities, but also interests.
