What a year for Patreon! In 2024, we accelerated growth, introduced new ways for creators to earn, and made fandoms more engaged than ever with community products. 🚀 Growth: Since launching our freemium product just a year ago, we now have 60M Free Memberships—a number that doubled since June! 💰 Monetization: Creators can now sell digital products in shops, offer posts for sale, and let fans send gifts to friends. These features drove a 4X growth in earnings from one-time payments this year! New marketing tools like Autopilot and Discounts have also been a hit with creators. 🔍 Discovery: Fans are finding their favorite creators — and discovering new ones to love — through new features like the Explore Tab and Creator Recommendations. Today, more than half of a creator's revenue, on average, already comes from within the Patreon fan network. 💬 Community: Over 100,000 fans joined exclusive live experiences on Moment by Patreon, from Eric Clapton concerts to Russell Peters’ comedy specials. Community Chats are thriving, too, with 5X more creators starting chats compared to last year.

I’m grateful to work with such an exceptional team, building toward our mission of funding creativity in the world. And I’m especially thankful to our community of creators for their inspiration and feedback as we shape the future of creativity together. The best is yet to come!
