OpenAI has recruited Sam Yam, Patreon’s co-founder and former President and CTO, to lead a new Creator Product division. Yam announced the move on September 23, alongside the departures of Drew Rowny, Patreon’s former head of product, and Shannon Ma, its former head of engineering. The hires bring together leaders who helped build Patreon’s creator subscription model, a platform that has moved more than $10 billion to creators since 2013. OpenAI has not detailed the new division’s products, but Yam said the team plans to build with creators and provide early access to new tools for creators and their communities. OpenAI’s upcoming DevDay event could offer an initial venue for showcasing the work.
