Patreon represents the foremost platform for creators to foster thriving communities with their most devoted fans, offer exclusive content, and convert their passions into enduring creative enterprises. Hundreds of thousands of creators, spanning diverse realms including video production, podcasting, music, writing, game development, and more, are achieving creative satisfaction and financial autonomy on Patreon. They are directly empowered by fans who wholeheartedly appreciate their contributions. Patreon's ultimate vision? A future where creators exercise control over their artistic endeavors, nurturing vibrant and genuine communities.
We’re proud and motivated that creators come to Patreon for creative freedom and ownership. We take that responsibility seriously, and have fun fulfilling that mission together.
At Patreon, we spend every day building toward a future where creators are in control and real community thrives. It’s a future where creators can make what excites them most without having to worry about feeding an unpredictable, ever-changing algorithm. And it’s a future where fans and creators have a direct line of access to one another, with nothing standing in between. If you want to dive even deeper into our vision, we’ve partnered with creators Theo Garnot and Gregcicle’s Greg Edwards to build an interactive artwork, narrated by Jack, all about the biggest problems creators face… and how we’re planning to solve them

In 2013, musician Jack Conte faced a dilemma. Although millions of people were enamored with his YouTube videos, he was only seeing a mere few hundred dollars in his bank account. The numbers didn't align, prompting him to reach out to his friend Sam Yam. Together, they embarked on the journey to create Patreon, a fresh approach to bridging the gap between talented creators and those willing to support their work financially. Since then, the Patreon team has been dedicated to empowering creators and shaping their destinies by fortifying the connection between them and their communities. Today Patreon stands as the premier platform for creators to establish a thriving community with their most devoted supporters, share exclusive content, and transform their passions into enduring creative enterprises. Creators can initiate their Patreon presence without incurring any initial costs, and the same applies to their fans.
