About & help
Built for
live community
Sown TV is a creator platform for people who want to go live, gather a real audience, and build communities that feel local, expressive, safe, and worth coming back to.
Our story
Why Sown TV exists
The internet has plenty of places to post, but live community needs something more human: presence, rhythm, trust, and tools that help creators lead. Sown TV is built around that idea. A creator should be able to start a room, invite people in, set the tone, and grow without needing a complicated stack of disconnected tools.
We call it Sown because communities are grown. You show up, plant your voice, nurture your people, protect the space, and let the work become bigger than one broadcast.
Rooted in Kenya, open to Africa
The platform is shaped around East African energy: local creators, local language, local discovery, and communities that can grow beyond borders.
Creator-first tools
Creators get a studio for going live, setting room names, managing community rules, tracking gifts, building goals, and preparing for monetization.
Viewers belong too
Fans can discover streams, chat with communities, support creators with gifts, and follow the people whose work makes the platform alive.
