about mintstars

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.
