I like building companies. I'm currently helping over 500,000 creators fund their passion online.
About
Hi, I’m Simon, Co-Founder of Ko-fi.com, one of the original creator economy platforms.
At 14 I started a clothing company. At 16, I started a printing business. And in my twenties, I grew a MarTech SaaS business from zero to £1M in recurring revenue.
I earned my MBA at Cranfield University and hold a Postgrad Diploma in Marketing, but my most valuable lessons have come from building companies for myself and helping other founders.
You can learn more about my story here.

And of course, please get in touch directly.
Ko-fi
In 2017, I had the opportunity to help a friend build his project Ko-fi.com into something extraordinary—today it's one of the original creator economy companies that has helped over 500,000 creators earn over $250M!
Artists, Writers, Podcasters, and all kinds of creators use Ko-fi. It can be a simple tip-jar, a place to build a membership community or a super-easy way to sell products and commissions with just a link! Ko-fi is for anyone who wants to start making an income directly from fans.
