Jack Conte

Over a decade ago, musician Jack Conte was looking for a solution to his problem: millions of people loved his videos on YouTube, but only hundreds of dollars were hitting his bank account. This didn’t add up. So he called his friend Sam Yam and together they started Patreon: a new way to connect people making incredible things to the people who want to pay for them. Since then, the Patreon team has been on a mission to put creators in control of their work and their futures by strengthening the bond between them and their communities.
