Help us build financial services for creators

Our culture—the information and entertainment we consume—is driven by an entrepreneurial class of creators who need smart money and efficient tools to scale their business.

I’m not a businessman.
I’m a business, man.

– Jay Z
Your favorite digital creators—the ones you follow every day on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or Twitch—aren’t just extraordinarily talented personalities and community builders. They’re also businesses. That means they have business needs—managing revenues, expenses, savings, credit, banking. We’re building products that help creators spend less time worrying about finances and operations so they can focus on creating.

What we’re building

Financial services
Cards. Accounts. Investments. Instruments to give creators access to the capital they need to build momentum and scale their business.
Operational tools
Payments. Payroll. Taxes. Accounting. Infrastructure to power the back-office demands of growing media companies.

What we care about

Creators. Creative freelancers. Creator-led businesses. We obsess about their goals and challenges, and focus on things that help them grow faster and stronger, which in turn enriches the culture in which we all live.

We are inspired by their spirit, drive, and ingenuity—and try to reflect that in our teams, process, and behaviour.

We love working with people who:

Are naturally curious
Bring clarity and focus to their craft
Thrive on teamwork yet act independently
Hustle—and want to win
Make us laugh and feel connected

Life at Karat

An imperfect mosaic
drops & merch
Jack in black
We make fantastic merch for our team and members. How soft are our hoodies? So soft that Mr. Jack “Patreon” Conte stopped working to model our black hoodie in his studio. That is gangster soft.
events
Casino Nights
Your favourite creators are disciplined, ovary-busting entrepreneurs building the future of our culture. Not co-incidentally, they need to occasionally let off steam and spend some gold coins at our Casino Nights. We host events around the country—ostensibly to have fun, but mostly to help people create connections, foster collaborations, and continue to build their community of peers. We’re in this game for the long haul, and aim to reflect the energy we receive from creators right back at them.

LA HQ
We said “no thanks” to WeWork and invested in our very own Creator House, a stunning estate in West Hollywood where we work, host dinners, throw parties, film videos, record podcasts, and most certainly jump in the pool when things get to be too damn much. (PS: Come join us for dinner.)
team meets
Meet-up, food-in
A distributed, async team is super-efficient and quite possibly the future of work. But whatever. We like to meet in fancy cities whenever possible so we can eat all the things. ALL THE THINGS.
collabs
Supernova
We created and host Supernova, the Shark Tank for Creators. Every month or so we assemble some of the world’s top creators to evaluate 4-5 pitches from founders building the next generation of B2C/B2B and DTC companies. Why Supernova? Because creators are businesses, man. (Didn’t you read the Jay-Z quote above?) They make money and want to invest that money in the next big thing.

Vibes
Yuki likes to chill near Julia, our Concierge manager. Yuki doesn’t have a blue check, but he’s an unofficial Karat mascot, an emblem of the smooth vibes we maintain while juggling our busy days. Winning matters, but the journey matters more. And treats. Treats matter too.
