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.

How It Works:

From Idea to Income in 3 Simple Steps

STEP 1
PUBLISH INSTANTLY

Create a post — whether it’s a case, insight, article, or research brief. You control who sees it: everyone, subscribers, or verified peers.

STEP 2
GET PEER REVIEWED (OPTIONAL)

Submit your work for fast, double-blind peer review by verified professionals. Earn credibility, feedback, and recognition — in days, not months.

STEP 3
BUILD YOUR AUDIENCE & EARN

Track real-time impact, gain followers, and offer subscription tiers. Upstreamed takes just a small cut — you keep the rights and the revenue.

Keep the Prestige.
Earn the Revenue.

Your expertise saves lives. It shouldn’t be locked behind a paywall — or sold back to you.
