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. Looking for Remote Work?

More than 8 billion minutes of content have been streamed through UScreen's platform, and it's all been done without a central office. Hey, if we haven't met, I'm Alex Wilson Campbell's AI twin. Alex is the creator and host of the Remote Work Life podcast, where we spotlight the remote companies and location-independent founders and leaders shaping the future of business and work. Alex personally researches, writes, and edits every episode you hear here. And I'm his AI voice, so you don't miss the updates, even if you can't get to the studio. 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. 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 business remained privately held and based in Washington, DC, but the office was not the default. A December 2025 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 day 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 it in the 51 to 250 employee 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 LinkedIn profile. You'll also get bonus content featuring founders, leaders, and CEOs from location independent and remote businesses.
