TL;DR: The systems we grew up with are breaking—and a new era of self-made success is taking their place. The future belongs to the Creators, builders, and dreamers who bet on themselves. Anyone can make a living working for themselves, and we believe now is the time to build. If you’re looking for a sign, this is it. Want in? Join the waitlist.

We’re living through a cultural reset—an era where the systems we were born into are failing, leaving us to fend for ourselves. One where we’re waking up to what’s broken and realizing we need to build our own.

Everyone wants to build something. To be a Creator, founder, or storyteller. But most of us are held back by bills, burnout, and the fear of failure. 

At times, it feels like the odds are stacked against us. An economy that’s broken. A world that’s falling apart. And our dreams? Out of reach.

That’s the story you could tell yourself—but it won’t get you far. 

We believe there’s another way. A future built on hope, grit, and agency.

This new era isn’t about climbing corporate ladders and stable 9-5s. It’s about taking control of your potential and redefining what’s possible for your future.

Think about it: If everything is broken, that means the blueprint is gone. And without a blueprint, your future is in your hands.

At Stan, we fiercely believe anyone can make a living working for themselves. And we have absolute conviction that the time to build is now.

You can’t afford not to bet on yourself today. Because five, ten, fifteen years from now, the only thing you can have full confidence in and control over is you. 

The Creator-First Platform That Can Get You There

We’re Stan—Creators’ go-to platform for growing and monetizing their audience. We spent years hustling as Creators ourselves, overpaying on subscriptions and duct-taping tools together just to build something of our own.

Back then, building a Creator business was complex, expensive, and riddled with tech hurdles. Our founder, John Hu, knew there had to be a better way, so he built Stan—the tool he wished he’d had. 

Now, we help everyday people make their dreams a reality, turning their unique passions, skills, and expertise into offers they can sell while coaching Creators on how to accelerate their growth.

And because Stan is backed by Creators—from our team to our founders to investors like Steven Bartlett and Gary Vee—we know exactly what it takes to build something from nothing.

So Build: Your Time Is Now

At a time when the economy feels broken and dreams feel out of reach, we refuse to believe that stability and creativity can’t coexist. Every day, we see thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs take the leap and build the life they dreamed of—all because they bet on themselves and persisted. 

Creators like Abigail Peugh, who turned a breaking point into a breakthrough and built a million-dollar digital products business.

Or Jalen Nelson, who went from styling mannequins at Forever 21 to building a six-figure fashion Creator brand.

Or Stone Fredrickson, who turned his passions into a profitable business at just 18 years old.

And Lindsay Hill, who’s proving that you can achieve success in any niche, on any timeline.

Stan is here to champion a movement. One where anyone, anywhere can make a living working for themselves. We’re here to serve the dreamers who want to build a better world. The entrepreneurs.
