Episode 040 - Building a Better OnlyFans: Labor Rights, Empowerment, and the Mintstars Business Model with Jessica Van Meir

In this episode of the Ownership Economy, we speak with Jessica Van Meir, Co-Founder and COO of  Mintstars. Mintstars aims to build a more sustainable creator economy that puts creators first. The team is  building a platform to combine non-fungible token subscriptions with marketplace resales. Fans subscribe to receive content and the NFT model allows for value to accrue via restrictions on content supply and access. The company is an interesting new model that solves many of the problems with sites such as OnlyFans. Jessica brings her extensive work as a researcher and current doctoral student on labor rights to her viewpoints on product/market fit. We hope you enjoy the episode.
