https://www.patreon.comPatreon, based in San Francisco, is a crowdfunding platform created by musician Jack Conte and developer Sam Yam.[1] It allows artists to obtain funding from patrons on a recurring basis or per artwork. [2] It is popular with YouTube content creators, musicians, and webcomic artists and has been featured in Forbes, Time, and Billboard magazines.
Model
Artists set up a page on the Patreon website, where patrons can pledge to donate a given amount of money to an artist every time she or he creates a piece of art, optionally setting a monthly maximum. Alternatively a fixed monthly amount can be pledged. This is different from other crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter, where artists obtain a single sum after a successful campaign and typically have to start over for every new piece.[3] Similar to other platforms however, artists will often provide rewards for their patrons.[7][8] Patreon takes a 5% commission on pledges.[9]
