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 has advocated for marginalized groups her entire life. Currently a PhD student at Harvard and a former Gates Cambridge Scholar, she's spent 7 years researching sex workers' rights. 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.
