Who this is
Pauline Schmiechen studied computer science up to a master's degree and worked as a programmer for years. Straight after university she founded a "vanilla" startup, meaning one without explicit content: a kind of Twitter for voice messages, launched before Clubhouse, for which she successfully raised money as a first-time founder. Because the only topics that worked were love, dating and relationships, she pivoted into the adult industry. Today she runs three websites of her own as managing director together with her co-founder Florian, advises companies in adult, gambling and other taboo industries through Kotti Konsulting, and writes a newsletter that pitches new projects from the industry to investors. Ana Lingus has been a creator for five years. She started with live cam streams during the pandemic, moved to OnlyFans because her viewers kept asking for it, and is now active on around ten platforms. She performs wearing a mask and runs the business with her partner on the side: he works 40 hours a week, she is a university student.
