Allison Yazdian took over as CEO of Uscreen in June 2025, as the video SaaS platform entered a new growth phase. Founder PJ Taei moved into an executive chairman role, and a December chief-of-staff job ad confirmed the company’s “fully remote, bootstrapped, and profitable” setup. Uscreen reports 13,000 creators, nearly $1 billion in GMV, and over 8 billion minutes streamed.

Leadership Shift At UScreen
SPEAKER_00

Today,
we
explore
the
leadership
transition
at
UScreen,
a
video
monetization
SaaS
for
creators,
and
how
its
new
CEO
is
steering
a
fully
remote
business
through
its
next
growth
chapter.
USCreen's
story
starts
with
PJ
Ty,
who
bootstrapped
the
company
from
scratch
over
the
last
decade.
By
mid-2025,
it
had
supported
over
13,000
creators,
enabled
at
nearly
$1
billion
in
gross
merchandise
value
and
reached
15
million
end
users.
UScreen
service
helps
video
entrepreneurs
launch
subscription-based
channels,
branded
video
apps,
and
monetized
communities.
From Bootstrapped Roots To Profit

In
June
2025,
Thai
moved
into
an
executive
chairman
role.
The
CEO
title
passed
to
Alison
Yazdian,
who
previously
led
Creator
Growth
at
LTK
and
drove
expansion
at
real
estate
platform
Compass.
Her
appointment
was
announced
in
a
press
release
that
also
underscored
USCreen's
status
as
a
bootstrapped,
profitable
company
that
has
grown
without
external
control.
By
November
2025,
the
updated
leadership
page
listed
Yazdian
as
CEO,
alongside
Tai
as
executive
chairman,
a
co-founder,
CTO,
and
a
CFO.
The

the
default.
A
December

Chief
of
Staff
job
ad,
reporting
directly
to
Yazdian,
describes
UScreen
as
fully
remote,
bootstrapped,
and
profitable
since
day
one.
That
same
post
makes
clear
the
structure
isn't
just
about
location
flexibility.
It
reflects
how
the
company
operates,
fully
distributed
with
flexible
hours,
a
lean
team,
and
a
leadership
cadence
built
around
async
coordination.
The
quote
in
that
listing
puts
it
plainly:
We're
fully
remote,
bootstrapped,
and
profitable
since

one.
We
recently
partnered
with
a
growth
capital
firm
for
our
next
phase
of
expansion
under
new
CEO
leadership.
UScreen's
job
board
at
the
end
of
December
included
multiple
remote
roles
across
product,
operations,
and
revenue.
And
job
profiles
elsewhere
describe
the
company
as
lean,
profitable,
and
experienced
in
remote
operations
over
the
last
five
to
ten
years.
While
exact
team
size
isn't
disclosed,
public
profiles
place

range.
What's
more
central
than
headcount
is
the
phase
Yazdian
is
now
leading,
expanding
a
profitable
platform
into
the
broader
creative
economy
with
support
from
New
Growth
Capital
and
the
operational
tempo
of
a
fully
remote
team.
That's
it
for
today
on
the
Remote
Work
Life
Podcast.
Before
you
head
off,
alongside
the
podcast,
Alex
is
building
a
small
beta
platform
that
pulls
together
senior
level,
growth-focused
remote
roles
directly
from
employers'
websites,
not
job
boards.
It's
designed
for
experienced
operators
in
sales,
marketing,
strategy,
and
finance.
If
you
want
early
access
as
a
founding
member,
you'll
find
the
link
in
the
show
notes
or
via
Alex's

profile.
You'll

featuring

and
CEOs
from
location
independent
and
remote
businesses.
