About Strata

Strata exists because too many people doing real creative work make important business and legal decisions without the information they need to make them well.

The same pattern repeats across media, platforms, and the creator economy. Opportunities arrive before infrastructure. Deals move faster than understanding. People agree to terms they don't fully grasp, often under time pressure, with little room to ask questions without feeling exposed. The cost of getting this wrong compounds quietly.

Most creators and operators don't avoid business or legal considerations because they don't care - they avoid them because the ecosystem makes learning feel inaccessible, adversarial, or expensive. The result is avoidable mistakes that shape careers, ownership, and leverage.

Strata closes that gap. It's a place to develop shared literacy around contracts, IP, deal structure, and risk by examining real patterns and scenarios. Not to replace professional advice, but to help people know when they need it and why.

The community is structured, moderated, and built around clear norms. It favors clarity over confidence, durability over speed, and understanding over posturing.

At its core, Strata helps people build things that don't break later.

The unglamorous work tends to matter most.
