Stranger Studios

Stranger Studios is a creative, fully remote team of 18 people building open source technology and digital content that helps people get paid. Founded in 2006 by Jason Coleman and Kim Coleman, Stranger Studios is best known as the team behind Paid Memberships Pro—a free and powerful membership plugin for WordPress. Our software is 100% open source, and our content is free to consume. We believe in removing barriers so that creators, educators, associations, and entrepreneurs can grow their businesses with confidence. We don’t just ship code—we create platforms. Around these platforms, we build products and services that include hands-on support, automation tools, strategic guidance, and content delivery enhancements. We work with a diverse set of membership sites: associations and nonprofits, course creators, coaches, communities, blogs and newsletters, podcasters, video creators, and directory-based platforms. As a team, we value balance. We're fully remote and intentionally small. Our flat organizational structure means everyone has a voice, and collaboration happens at every level. We believe work should support life—not the other way around. We’re here to help people build sustainable, meaningful businesses that give them more freedom. More time. More possibilities.
