Hi everyone 
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👋" title="Waving hand" aria-label="Emoji: Waving hand"> — So, behind all of those drops we had a product the entire time.
I always loved the idea floated that we were some sort of product studio but we& #39;re not that cool.
I& #39;m really excited to finally unveil Stir and open up our beta. https://medium.com/@josephpalbanese/say-hello-to-stir-976815839898">https://medium.com/@josephpa...

We& #39;re pretty relentless about our mission of empowering creators to run great businesses.
We think there are two ways to do that:
1. Simplify every aspect of running the back-office.
2. Make it dramatically easier to collaborate and grow with others.

On point 1, we have two features we& #39;re excited about.
The first is what we call Overview — think of it like a Mint-dashboard but designed with creators in mind.
You can plug in your Patreon, Twitch, YouTube, Shopify, and Brand deals and understand the biz from a glance.

The second is what we call Upcoming. Internally I& #39;ve been calling it a "calendar for your money".
One of the biggest pain points of being a Creator are payment schedules. They don& #39;t have salaries.
Any clarity on when they can expect to be paid is a massive gain.

The biggest source of growth is through collabs.
When these partnerships start earning revenue they formalize by starting a group chat — Not complicated s-corps or lengthy contracts.
We call the future of these lightweight businesses "Collectives".

Anyone can start a Collective on Stir and you can do so in just a few clicks.
Collectives can share revenue, analytics, and content. They& #39;re great for editors, managers, accountants, and even other creators.
You can be in multiple collectives at the same time. There& #39;s no limit.

The powerful feature behind Collectives is Splits.
Splits allows for transparent & fast payouts. Everyone gets paid at the same time.
You can split anything but it& #39;s best when native. Split Adsense on a video, split CPM on a single podcast, split an item in your Shopify store.

The possibilities are endless — We& #39;re early but I think this will allow for creators to build new revenue streams with one another and create new types of businesses.
I& #39;ve framed this internally as the Barstool business model but as a platform that anyone can build on top of.

Anyway, that& #39;s what we are announcing today. I& #39;m really really grateful for all the incredible folks who have taken a big chance on us.
I& #39;m also really grateful for my partner, @kushalbyatnal — We have a truly special relationship and building with him is a dream come true.
