About Stan

đź’ˇOur Mission: Empower anyone to make money working for themselves.

Stan is the Shopify for Content Creators, empowering anyone to make a living working for themselves on the internet.

We're a mission-driven team of high-performers backed by the best VCs (Forerunner, Pear, and Norwest) and angel investors (Kevin Hartz, Michael Ovitz). We help the internet’s biggest Creators build their businesses so they can spend their time doing what they love: Creating. Over the past 2 years, we’ve scaled from $0 to $30M+ ARR—and done so profitably.

If you’re excited about building a world-class team, fostering a thriving company culture, and making an impact on thousands of solopreneurs, we’d love to have you join us.
