Founders, Dan and Jessica, met in 2020 and quickly bonded over their frustrations with how content platforms treated their creators. Driven by a shared passion of bringing innovative solutions to a traditionally underserved sector, MintStars is built on the principles of inclusivity and care for creators.
Jessica is currently a PhD Candidate at Harvard and a former Gates Cambridge Scholar. She’s spent 10 years researching and advocating for sex workers’ rights and is currently writing her dissertation on sex work policy in Latin America. In 2023, she co-founded the Boston Sex Workers and Allies Collective, which advocates for the full decriminalization of sex work in Massachusetts. She’s also worked for multiple women's rights and trans rights organizations, including a feminist law firm where she worked with survivors of image-based sexual abuse, workplace discrimination, and sex trafficking.
Dan has 10+ years of experience in technology, building go-to-market strategies for early stage start-ups through to tech unicorns. Dan witnessed the threat content creators face every day on existing platforms through a few close friends in the industry who were the victims of image piracy, targeted account suspensions and chargebacks.
