Patreon is a media and community platform where creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. Over 300k creators are cultivating fandoms and building their businesses each month. Creators can offer free memberships to fans looking to explore more of their work, paid memberships to give access to exclusive media and community, or sell directly to fans with Shops.
Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:
8B+ earned since Patreon's inception
30M free new memberships in the first year of launching that option, and
10M fans paying each month for exclusive access to creators' work and community.
