Speaking about Pipeline, Ellis said, “We’re building the platform that we wish we had when we started our own content creation journey. We get asked hundreds of times a week about getting started as a content creator or for support at different stages of the journey.” Ellis further added, “We couldn’t help everyone. We wanted to build something that could help not just those asking us but those who are asking other content creators too.”
