Show Notes

As the cofounder and CEO of Patreon (and a creator himself), Jack Conte’s whole mission has been helping creators make a stable living. Patreon allows creators to charge monthly or annual subscription fees for access to their content. And since the company started nine years ago, it’s paid out $3.5 billion to more than 250,000 creators. Patreon itself was recently valued at $4 billion, so clearly Jack was on to something. But knowing how much the creator economy has evolved, how is Patreon thinking about features to better serve creators? And are we getting closer to a more robust middle class of creatives?
