Bumswild powers membership businesses for creators by giving them the tools they need to acquire, manage, and energize their paying patrons. With a subscription-style payment model, fans pay their favorite creators a monthly amount of their choice in exchange for exclusive access, extra content, or a closer look into their creative journey.
This model is a win-win; creators retain creative freedom while getting the salary they deserve, and fans get to rest easy knowing that their money goes directly towards creating more of what they love.
Bumswild is a creator-founded membership platform that
helps creators change the way their art is valued through
a direct relationship with their fans.

Put Creators First
When creators win, we win.
bumswild was founded with the mission of getting creators paid for their work. This remains our singular focus. We spend our time on things that drive long-term value for the most creators possible. We firmly believe that when creators win, we do as well, and we place their interests above all else.
We continuously seek to understand the needs of creators so that we can build products that serve them best. We understand the critical role that Bumswild plays in enabling creators to run their businesses and we take that seriously by delivering the needed reliability and consistency in our products, and maintaining trust and transparency with them as we evolve our products.
Win Together
WE GROW AS INDIVIDUALS, WE WIN AS A TEAM
Even as we excel in our individual areas of expertise, we relish the impact we make together. We’re all invested in the success of our teams and we take this responsibility seriously. Corporate politics, fiefdoms, or success at the expense of others won’t fly here. Instead, we set aside our own agendas and preferences for the benefit of the greater team need or priority.
We help each other succeed within our teams and across orgs because that’s what it takes. We lend support when a teammate is having a rough day. We celebrate wins and milestones along the way. We have difficult conversations, and know they lead to better outcomes. And no matter how intensely we feel about something, we never lose sight of our shared humanity, which keeps care and respect top of mind.
We create an environment where we look forward to working together every day. While we each represent unique life experiences, styles, identities, geographies and backgrounds, we ultimately make team cohesion and belonging a shared outcome for all.
Make it Happen
WE DON’T QUIT, WE LEARN & DELIVER
Even with formidable constraints, we find a way to succeed -- whether by exploring our creativity or putting in an extraordinary effort. We believe that success rarely happens on the initial attempt. We embrace the failure that comes with challenging situations – from that we gain the learnings that push us to improve.
And we love the challenge, since we believe that progress for creators — who live at the edge of innovation — means solving problems that others have yet to solve. We "make it happen" by taking personal ownership in pushing forward, so that our individual breakthroughs lead to collective innovation for all creators.
The creative world is evolving at a breakneck speed, but we expect Bumswild to be category-defining in what we do for creators, and that's why it's critical we keep finding the way forward to our next successes.
