About MintStars

MintStars is the world’s first NFT subscription platform for models, creators, and brands. Our mission is to help creators earn more and combat piracy with a more ethical alternative to OnlyFans and Patreon. We aim to make the benefits of NFT technology accessible to everyone.

After raising our pre-seed round at a £4 million valuation, including an investment from Polygon and support from Harvard i-labs, we are ramping towards an MVP launch in the fall in conjunction with the close of our Seed round. You’ll help us transition seamlessly from MVP to building out an internal development team.

Our team is 75% women, based in London & Boston. We currently work remotely, with the potential for hybrid working in London in the future.

We especially encourage women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, and people with experience in content creation, modeling, and/or sex work to apply.
