Why We Built Upstreamed

Riley Konara, MD
TRIPLE-BOARD CERTIFIED PHYSICIAN
Co-Founder, Upstreamed Inc.
U.S. ARMY VETERAN
During COVID, I watched brilliant physicians struggle to share life-saving insights — only to be delayed for months, rejected, and erased by journals that kept 100% of the profits.
That’s when it hit me: You do the work. They take the credit — and the revenue.
You design the study. You write the paper. Then you wait… and wait… and maybe get accepted — if the journal thinks it “fits.” And if you’re accepted?
They own your content, lock it behind a paywall, and leave you with nothing but “prestige.”
Some authors even pay thousands to make their work “open access” — and still get no visibility, no analytics, no income.
We built Upstreamed to fix that.
Now, you can publish instantly or get peer-reviewed in days, keep your rights, own your audience, track your impact, and — for the first time — get paid for your expertise.
No gatekeepers. No delays. Just results.

STEP 2

STEP 3

BUILD YOUR AUDIENCE & EARN
