A community for creators, operators & founders.

Build with clarity. Scale with literacy. Where creators learn the business behind the work.

What this is

A peer community for creators, operators, and founders working in media, platforms, and the creator economy

Focused on business and legal literacy - the mechanics that protect your work and help you scale

Grounded in real patterns - IP, deal structure, revenue models, and risk

Education-first and experience-led - learn from people who've been there

Built for those who want to understand how things work, not just what to do next

What this isn't

A source of legal advice or contract review

A replacement for hiring counsel or an advisor

A growth-hack, grind-culture, or hype community

A place to pitch services, farm clients, or self-promote

Built for virality, shortcuts, or scale at all costs

Strata is built for

Working creatives with momentum

• You're making work people see, watch, or pay for

• Opportunities are showing up, but the terms feel opaque

• You're not sure when to push back or when to walk

• You want to understand leverage before mistakes compound

Operators building around creative work

• You run a studio, channel, or media business

• You're responsible for structure, decisions, and risk

• Legal and business questions surface constantly - rarely cleanly

• You want frameworks, not panic mode

Founders in media-driven businesses

• You're building products or services tied to creators or content

• IP, contracts, and platform rules shape what you can build

• You need to understand risk without freezing progress

• You want to make informed decisions before hiring counsel

How it works

Discord-based, intentionally structured

Strata runs on Discord - organized around clear channels and shared norms. Built for signal over volume; discussion over noise.

Regular programming, light commitment

Ongoing discussions, case breakdowns, and office-hour threads. Periodic AMAs with experienced operators. Join live when you can; catch up when you can't.

Optional depth when you need it

Deeper workshops, templates, and small-group sessions may be offered over time. Always opt-in, clearly labeled, never required.

Clarity beats confidence.
Durable structures
outperform shortcuts.
The unglamorous work
decides outcomes.
