About Yancey Strickler

Co-founder and CEO of Kickstarter
Co-founder of The Creative Independent, artist support platform
Co-founder and director of Metalabel, creative collaboration platform
Yancey Strickler is a writer and entrepreneur focused on building new ways for creative people to work together and thrive. As co-founder and director of Metalabel, Yancey leads efforts to help creators collaborate and share value. He previously co-founded Kickstarter, where he served as CEO and helped creators raise over $8 billion for projects worldwide. Yancey also launched The Creative Independent, a resource for artists, and eMusic Selects, an early digital record label.

Yancey’s work explores how creativity, technology, and systems shape our lives. His book, This Could Be Our Future, introduced Bentoism, a practical framework for making decisions that balance personal and collective interests. His widely read essay, "The Dark Forest Theory of the Internet," examines online identity and digital anxiety, and his upcoming anthology brings together diverse voices on this topic. Through his writing and projects, Yancey helps organizations and individuals rethink how they create, connect, and adapt in a rapidly changing world.

Audiences leave Yancey’s talks with actionable frameworks for creative decision-making, a deeper understanding of digital culture, and practical tools for building collaborative communities. He offers clear examples and strategies that leaders, teams, and artists can use to navigate uncertainty and foster innovation.
