In a recent interview with Fortune, the 29-year-old founder shared that her goal is to empower the future generation. Lucy Guo stated, “I believe creators are small businesses, and it’s Passes’ goal to turn them into large businesses”. Guo aims to make the creators a brand themselves. 

Highlighting how she started off this journey, Guo said, A lot of my friends are creators — they’re musicians, they’re TikTokers — and I saw the problems with the creator economy and thought I want to help solve them. I initially got my friends on board, word of mouth happened, and it’s been going since.” As Passes continues to expand its reach, it remains not just a platform, but a digital ecosystem. It’s a realm where fans are getting the opportunity to indulge in unparalleled access to their favorite personalities.
