Sam Yam - Patreon

from How to Change the World (For the Better) Hosted by Mikaela Brewer

Sam Yam is the co-founder and CTO of Patreon. Patreon is a “membership platform that provides business tools for creators to run a subscription content service, with ways for artists to build relationships and provide exclusive experiences to their subscribers, or ‘patrons’." In addition to Patreon, he also works with Y Combinator as a YC-Expert. In 2009, he co-founded AdWhirl, a mobile ad platform that optimized revenues for publishers. In the course of less than a year, AdWhirl grew to over 3 billion monthly ad impressions and was acquired by AdMob. Prior to AdWhirl, Sam was the "Analytics Czar" at Loopt, where he helped develop their local business and iPhone initiatives. Sam has also held positions at Yahoo! and Ning. Sam graduated from Stanford University in 2006 with a BS in Computer Science. In this episode, follow along as he discusses his journey through start-ups, various companies and ultimately Patreon.
