The system for creative people is broken

It puts algorithms over ideas. Quantity over quality. What’s easy to sell over what’s good. Money, brands, and just about everything else over the people who actually create.

People say that’s just the way it is. We say, fuck that. Let’s put creativity over everything.

Create on Patreon

What is Patreon?

Patreon helps you build direct relationships with your most engaged fans. You offer them benefits like exclusive content, community, or insight into your creative process in exchange for a monthly subscription.

Meaningful connections

Connect with your audience directly in an ad-free and troll-free environment. Enjoy healthier, kinder, more meaningful interactions.

Creative control

Create what you want and what your audience loves. You don’t have to conform to popular taste or the constraints of ad-based monetization models.

Reliable income

Generate predictable income from your work through members who pay you a monthly subscription.

What can I offer my community on Patreon?

There are many ways to delight your fans and every creator does this in their own way. Choose a few of the ideas below, or invent your own.
