Do you believe that creators should have the ability to get paid for the
value they give to their fans?
We do, which is why we're building Patreon, a platform that powers membership
services for creators with established followings. Patreon strives to provide
creators with insight, education, and tools that make it possible to retain
creative control while running their creative business, so creators can focus
on creating and energising their fanbases.
Our user base has doubled in the last year alone, and we have paid over $3.5
billion directly to creators on our platform.
At Patreon, we deal with some of the most sensitive data such as patrons’
payment methods, creators’ financial information to process payouts, along
with several other bits of personal information from patrons and creators
alike. We process over a billion dollars annually. Our security team takes on
the responsibility of protecting and safeguarding this data, and making sure
these transactions proceed without being tampered with.
We have a rapidly growing employee base, and our IT team takes on the
responsibility of making every employee productive as quickly as possible by
giving them access to all the tools and access needed to do their jobs
effectively, and providing support to this large and growing team across
multiple locations.
