Zorya Creative Collabs

What Zorya Creative Collabs does

Zorya Creative Collabs (legal entity ZORYA CC LTDA) is a Brazilian digital collaborative publishing startup founded in 2022 and based in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. The company operates a community-led model in which readers, writers, and illustrators — collectively called "Zoryanos" — co-create a shared multiverse of characters and stories through WhatsApp, Discord, and Google Forms submission. Its foundational IP, the Coleção Legends, was originated by 11-year-old André de Souza Pozeczek; the company is operated by his parents, Andrewes Pozeczek (CEO) and Liana Merladete (Communication Director), who describe the venture as a family project. The company's only commercial product to date is the e-book "Changed Legends" (Volume 01), sold exclusively through Google Play Books at a promotional price of R$19.90 since January 2023.

The technology stack is intentionally light: a WordPress-based website, social/community distribution across WhatsApp, Discord, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and Google Play Books as the e-book marketplace. Zorya is positioning a Web3/Blockchain layer as its second commercial pillar, with plans to issue digital collectibles (character cards and related items) as NFTs to create digital scarcity and ownership, supported by a 2023 pre-acceleration engagement with iCoLab. The business model is currently anchored on one-time e-book license sales, with planned secondary streams from collectible transactions and professional publishing services for emerging creators. Zorya has participated in five Brazilian startup support programs (InovAtiva Brasil, Pulsar Incubadora at UFSM, iCoLab, StartupRS/SEBRAE X, Grokker UP), won second place at Startup Arena 2022, and is a member of Distrito, ABStartups, and AGS Startups. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, no patents or registered trademarks, and a headcount confined to the founding family plus a small support network.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Companhia das Letras: Brazil's largest traditional trade book publisher. A reference point for Zorya as a Brazilian publishing competitor and potential distribution partner for translated/localized print editions.
• Comico: Brazilian and LatAm-focused digital comics and webtoon app. Direct overlap with Zorya in the Brazilian infantojuvenil and nerd/geek digital reading segment.

Emerging players

• VeVe: NFT marketplace for licensed digital collectibles (comics, characters, 3D figures). Closest comparable to Zorya's planned digital collectibles line tied to character IP, though VeVe focuses on licensed third-party IP.
• Substack: Creator-led publishing platform with subscription and community features. Comparable in empowering individual creators to publish and monetize digital content, though focused on prose/essays rather than serialized fiction.

Broad incumbents

• Marvel Unlimited: Major publisher's digital comics subscription service. Competitor for hero/narrative-based digital reading attention; the company explicitly cites Marvel/DC-style heroes as adjacent audiences it is targeting.

Direct peers

• Lezhin Comics: Premium digital comics platform offering serialized content with a strong IP and collectibles orientation. Overlaps with Zorya's hero/comic IP and planned digital collectible (NFT) strategy.
• Wattpad: User-generated storytelling platform where readers and writers co-create and discover stories. Comparable to Zorya's collaborative, community-first publishing model, though at vastly greater scale.
• Webtoon Entertainment: Global digital comics/serialized storytelling platform owned by Naver. Direct competitor in the digital serialized reading category, with a vastly larger creator and reader community and a similar community-driven publishing model.
• Tapas Media: Digital comics and novels platform enabling independent creators to publish serialized stories and earn ad-share revenue. Closely aligned with Zorya's creator-led, community-driven publishing approach.

Others

• ABStartups: Brazilian Startups Association. Zorya is already a member; relevant ecosystem peer for distribution of credibility, deal flow, and acceleration visibility rather than direct product competition.
