About The KDCC

CREATORS AND STRATEGISTS WHO ACTUALLY GROW YOUTUBE CHANNELS

Andrew Kan and Ike Do built The Kan Do Creators Community for YouTube creators who want real strategy, not vague advice. We are creators first, still making videos and growing channels right alongside you. We run live group coaching calls, review your content before you publish, and teach the KANDO Method that has helped grow over a million subscribers across YouTube.

WHY WE BUILT THE KDCC

After 5 and a half years at TubeBuddy helping creators grow, Andrew Kan and Ike Do still wanted to help creators, and they saw a gap nobody was filling. There are plenty of resources for big teams or brands with budgets. Plenty for brand new channels looking for basics. However, for the YouTube creators in the middle? Almost nothing.

That middle ground is where most YouTube creators live. Limited time. Limited money. Big ideas. That is exactly who The Kan Do Creators Community was built for.

Andrew Kan spent years as the YouTube strategist behind TubeBuddy, growing their channel from 6,000 to over 530,000 subscribers and earning Silver, Gold, and Diamond Play Buttons along the way. He has consulted on YouTube strategy for the NFL, BBC, Nickelodeon, and Salesforce, and has spoken at VidCon, VidSummit, and Adobe events.

Ike Do built the communities that made TubeBuddy more than just a tool. They grew TubeBuddy's Discord to 15,000+ creators, scaled the forums to over 100,000 members, and became the person creators turned to when they needed real feedback. Today, Ike runs monetized YouTube channels of their own and leads The KDCC Discord community.

We did not build The KDCC to sell courses or hand out motivational advice. We built it because we are still creating, still growing, and we wanted a place where YouTube creators get the same level of strategy and feedback we give each other.

Creators First We still make videos, test strategies, and grow channels. We teach what we do, not what we used to do.
Support Over Ego No gatekeeping, no flexing. Every creator in The KDCC gets honest feedback and real strategy from people who care.
Real Strategy Over Vague Advice The KANDO Method, live group coaching calls, SEO reviews, and thumbnail feedback before you publish.
YouTube Growth Framework

THE KANDO METHOD

The KANDO Method is a free five-step YouTube growth framework created by Andrew Kan. Use it before you film your next video, or use it right now on an older video that stopped growing. Andrew Kan used these five steps to grow the TubeBuddy YouTube channel from 6,000 to over 530,000 subscribers.

Andrew Kan and Ike Do teach the KANDO Method through free resources and group coaching sessions inside The KDCC.

HOW WE STARTED HELPING CREATORS GROW

From TubeBuddy to The Kan Do Creators Community, this is not just our story. It is the story of every creator who told us they needed something better. Click through each step below and see how it all came together.

01
December 11, 2015

Where It All Started

Andrew Kan joined TubeBuddy as Employee Number One. From day one, the mission was simple: help YouTube creators succeed. Within his first year, Andrew grew TubeBuddy's YouTube channel from 6,000 to over 100,000 subscribers. Over the years, Andrew would bring on Ike Do and Stanley Orchard, the people who would eventually help build everything that came next.

02
2019 to 2021

Building Communities That Mattered

Ike Do joined TubeBuddy in 2019 and immediately changed the game. They grew the Discord to 15,000+ creators and helped Andrew, who had built the TubeBuddy forums from zero, scale them to over 100,000 members. Together they became the community experts creators trusted most. Ike left in April 2021. Andrew followed a month later. But the work was far from over.

03
November 2021

The KDCC Launches

The Kan Do Creators Community launched as the place Andrew Kan and Ike Do wished had existed when they were starting out. A home for YouTube creators who wanted real strategy, honest feedback, the KANDO Method, and a Discord community built on support over ego.

04
September 2024

Newsletter and Blog Launch

We launched the Kan Do Newsletter and our first blog to give every creator, member or not, free access to YouTube strategy, platform news, and creator tools. In 2026 we moved the blog to its own home at blog.kdcc.social to give it room to grow.

05
2025

Membership Launches

We did not plan to launch a membership. Our community asked for it. Creators wanted more structure, more coaching, and more feedback. We started on YouTube, realized we needed more control, and moved everything to Fourthwall. Knowledge and Authority tiers launched with live group coaching calls, SEO reviews, and guaranteed feedback.

06
October 2025

Discord Grows

Our YouTube Help Discord hit 2,500+ creators giving daily feedback, sharing wins, and holding each other accountable. This was the long term goal that set The KDCC up to do even more.

07
Right Now

The Future

You just clicked through our entire story. That means something to us. Andrew Kan, Ike Do, and Stanley Orchard did not build The KDCC to become some faceless brand. We built it because we love YouTube, we love creators, and we believe that when people help each other get better, everyone wins. Everything we have built has led to this moment. And what comes next? That starts with you.
