That’s a wrap on Web Summit 2024! This year, our Co-Founder and CEO Jack Conte and our Head of Top Creator Partnerships Stephanie Hind participated in incredible talks on the future of creativity online and podcasting's impact on the creator economy. Appreciate everyone who stopped by and enjoyed the sessions. Special thanks to Nekesa Mumbi Moody, Co-Editor-in-Chief of The The Hollywood Reporter ; Lizzie OLeary, host of Slate Magazine's What’s Next: TBD podcast; and Sophia Tuxford and Cinzia Zullo, hosts of The Girls Bathroom podcast, for joining us on stage.

This week Kristen Bell’s Reefer Madness Musical Documentary dropped exclusively on Patreon (patreon.com/reefermadness). This was broadcasted on our newest product called Drops that allows fans to watch exclusive video and livestreams in real-time together. It’s just the beginning of some exciting creator launches to come. Shout out to Lois Yang, Lu Chen, Mary Ellen Funke, Mimi Xu, Pietro Sette, Jason Byttow, Charles Chen, Luke Potasiewicz, Matt Rigdon and Nathan Gieseker for the incredible launch.

It’s been a year since we launched the new app. Here's some of the things we've learned: - Challenging the status-quo is hard: Specifically building a platform that challenges social feed norms. - What it’s been like to build "community first" and 5x growth: The differences in Patreon communities and the importance of scaling them safely. - The value of internal mobility: Letting folks work on the most impactful thing at any given time. Interested in joining us? We are hiring @ jobs.patreon.com.
