Company Summary

We will disrupt the funding model for investigative journalism and media by supporting it through the contributions of many individuals - the mechanism known as “crowdfunding”. We want to make the creation of investigative media purchasable, on the levels of both funding and rights to the story. By removing advertising from the equation, we will connect the need - people who want to see journalism done on particular topics.
