Patreon (Company)

Founded by a creator, with creators in mind. We make every decision with one goal in mind — to get creators paid. Patreon powers membership businesses for creators by giving them the tools they need to acquire, manage, and energize their paying patrons. With a subscription-style payment model, fans pay their favorite creators a monthly amount of their choice in exchange for exclusive access, extra content, or a closer look into their creative journey. This model is a win-win; creators retain creative freedom while getting the salary they deserve, and fans get to rest easy knowing that their money goes directly towards creating more of what they love. Patrons pledge to support artists and creators on a recurring basis for each work created, empowering a new generation of creators the ability to make a living off of their passions.

Patrons support the creators they love in exchange for exclusive membership benefits. Our platform provides thousands of creators the opportunity to create on their own terms.Since 2013, we have paid out over 2 billion dollars to Patreon creators.
