Everyone (yes you) will eventually become a Creator. @Brycent and I talked about: - Why I believe that - How were thinking of building Stan around it - And the ecosystem for the next generation of Creators Follow along for more from #StanLaunchpad#

Day 7 of 14 at Launchpad. We’re witnessing the beginning of the “New-Age Founder” era. 16 of the 30 teams that started Launchpad have now made revenue. For the longest time, the path to entrepreneurship was hidden from most people. It favored a very particular type of person: Hate the system. Drop out of school. Move to SF. Chase venture capital. Settle for a 1% chance of success. The New-Age Founder takes a completely different path. Instead of chasing a hot tech idea, they lean into the expertise they’ve spent years building in their careers. Instead of venture capital, they use social capital, the audience they’ve built online. Then they turn that audience into a business, with a product or service that today’s technology makes easier to build than ever. They understand that building is easy and distribution is hard. So they start with distribution. Millions of New-Age Founders will enter the ecosystem over the next 5 years. Running the Stan Launchpad playbook.
