• Our powerful original reporting focuses on the stuff that actually matters to a new generation: stories of the entrepreneurs, innovators, artists and activists who are changing our world.

• We’re partnering with big brands and major foundations like Intel, SAP, AWS, Ford, Hollister, the Skoll Foundation, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Bloomberg Philanthropies and more to help them do what we do best: tell powerful stories that deliver real results.
• While others in media are chasing cheap clicks, cheap views and cheap attention, we produce premium original videos that capture meaningful attention and deliver measurable impact at scale.
• That's why we're on track to more than double booked revenue year-over-year to $7M and book our first profitable quarter in Q1.
• We’re pursuing an estimated $500M opportunity inside the rapidly growing $13B market for sponsored digital video. And that’s just the beginning. Together we believe we can build the #1 global news brand for a generation that's changing the world
• In 2017 and 2018 we raised Seed & Series A Rounds from Founders Fund, Stand Together, Bedrock Capital, 8VC and M Ventures.
• Now we’re raising an $8M Series B, with $6M reserved for working capital to support the rapid growth of our publishing business, and $2M reserved for expansion, both in our core editorial product and in new lines of business including licensing and events.
