About Patreon

Patreon is the best place for creators to build community with their biggest fans, share exclusive work, and turn their passions into lasting creative businesses.

Patreon is a media and community platform founded in 2013 by musician Jack Conte and Sam Yam. It enables over 300,000 creators to get paid by their fans through paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live video, and digital sales. Since inception, fans have sent over $10 billion to creators. The platform serves podcasters, video creators, musicians, artists, game devs, and more, providing tools for membership management, commerce, and community building. Patreon makes money by taking a percentage of membership fees and transactions.
