Dear Cult,
We started off as artists not knowing anything about money, and are learning day to day to find out how to make our community stronger financially, and just healthier in general. Creativity is work! And society needs us, we just have to get more financial literacy and organized.
We just got back from the Alps at a ski and tech conference. Why? Well, we realized that to reach more opportunities for us all aka cash, we need to #network with the people who know how it works. And the people who know how it works, also love to ski.
Our findings: We need to get more people to sign up and post on our prototype HERE to be taken more seriously by the business world. PLS SIGN UP IF UR CREATIVE. U will also get free business coaching if u want from an ex Patreon/MoMA employee.
we work to get creatives hired, and pull from our own curated database. It’s all free, and apply here to join us in 2 min.
