Station, the platform known for powering fan hubs for podcasts like New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, today announced the launch of the first AI Revenue Assistant built for creators.

The assistant gives podcasters, YouTubers, and digital creators the power of a full media team in their pocket — surfacing brand sponsorship matches and unlocking new revenue strategies and ad space to monetize in seconds.

Most creators don’t have access to sponsor sales teams or the time to build out additional revenue streams like memberships and newsletters. Station estimates the assistant can increase creator revenue by 20–30% by activating opportunities that would otherwise go untapped which will transform the industry.

On top of this, Station doesn’t just help creators unlock money. Its end-to-end tooling can save a creator over $400/ year in subscription costs, which is part of the Station mission to help creators capture more of the value they are creating in the world.

With more than 185,000 new podcasts launched in 2024 and over 3 million YouTube channels now monetizing through its Partner Program, YouTube says channels uploading Shorts grew 50% year over year, and podcast listening in the U.S. just hit a record 55% monthly reach. Station’s new AI Revenue Assistant is hitting the market at the perfect time—and it’s priced for even the most independent of creators: it’s free to use the monetization AI assistant, with optional $9 and $39 upgrades. Additionally, Station takes 0% of membership earnings unlike other platforms like Patreon.

From Engagement to Monetization

Station originally launched to help creators connect with their audiences, onboarding hundreds of thousands of listeners and fans. But since its founding, creators kept asking for sponsorships and better ways to monetize.

The Revenue Assistant is Station’s answer. What previously took weeks of manual emails and negotiation is now automated in under 30 seconds. For a creator economy that has exploded in size but remains underserved by monetization tools, this represents the first major leap forward.

“We built this revenue assistant by encoding the workflows of a full media sales team into our AI so it better understands a creator as they go. This has taken months and months of refinements to build our proprietary monetization model and analytics infrastructure – and this is only going to get smarter and smarter with future AI breakthroughs.” added Saugat Poudel, Founding AI Engineer at Station.

Product Experience: All-in-One Monetization

With Station, creators can now:

• Sell sponsorships — Instantly match with brands, send AI-drafted proposals, and launch campaigns.
• Turn on memberships & bonus content — Guided flows help creators set up paid communities in minutes.
• Sell merch or call with your expertise — Built-in storefront tools let creators monetize expertise and fan loyalty.
• Launch auto-written newsletters — AI drafts newsletters based on past episodes or videos, opening a new revenue channel.
• Link it all together — A customizable link-in-bio storefront acts as the creator’s central hub and place to transact.

“We see Station as the Shopify for the creators of the future,” said Cam Pritchard, CEO and co-founder of Station. “Just as Shopify unlocked entrepreneurship for anyone with a product idea, Station is unlocking monetization for anyone with an audience.”

Why Now: A Creator Economy at Scale

The global creator economy is projected to nearly double to $480B by 2027.Over 58% of Americans now prefer podcasts for long-form content over TV or blogs.

Influencer and creator marketing spend is expected to reach $32B globally by 2025. Yet for most creators, monetization is still fragmented, opaque, and slow. Station is fixing that.

Station recently closed a $1.5M seed round with Brickyard, Market Square Ventures, Capacity Capital, Launch Tennessee, Atland Ventures, and Hustle Fund. The round also included angels from Canva, Snapchat, YouTube, Reddit, Twitch, and Spotify.

With today’s launch, Station is positioning itself as the ultimate monetization partner for creators, with more product updates and major partnerships to be announced soon.
