Get ready for the next evolution of content creation! Entrepreneur Steven Bartlett, known for his incredible success in the creator space, has just secured a massive eight-figure investment for his company, Steven.com. His ambitious goal? To build ‘The Disney of the Creator Economy.’
Steven.com: Powering Creators
Bartlett, who famously dropped out of college and became a millionaire by age 23, has built Steven.com into a comprehensive creator holding company. It encompasses divisions like FlightStory, FlightFund, and the AI-powered podcast platform, FlightCast. The company’s mission is to empower high-potential creators by helping them grow their audience, build intellectual property, commercialize their work, and launch new ventures, all backed by robust technology.
This significant funding round was co-led by Slow Ventures and Apeiron Investment Group, with participation from a host of notable investors including Philipp Freise (KKR), Gary Vaynerchuk, Kevin Rose, and Alex Hormozi, among others. This influx of capital brings Steven.com’s total valuation to an impressive $425 million.
Building the Future of Content
Bartlett envisions Steven.com as the central hub for creators, stating, “By bringing together creator IP, capital and our infrastructure, Steven.com is positioning itself to lead in the next era of the creator economy.” He draws a parallel to Disney’s empire, aiming to replicate that scale and impact for individual creators in the digital age.
Bartlett’s own journey, which began with a $100 microphone purchase in 2017, led to the creation of “The Diary Of A CEO” podcast. With over 13 million subscribers, 70 million monthly views/downloads, and over 1 billion YouTube views, his success story is a powerful testament to the potential within the creator economy. He aims to replicate this success for countless others.
The Creator is the new franchise. Our mission is to turn individual creators into global brands with the same scale and impact as Disney — but in the modern internet era. — Steven Bartlett
