Now comes the growth.AllSides started as the trusted standard for balanced political news. We're now something bigger: a platform for understanding any issue, from every angle. Thanks to our investors from Wefunder we spent 2025 building the products to make that real. Revenue was flat — and we have no regrets.In early 2026, the market is validating that bet from multiple directions at once. This campaign closes before most of it converts to revenue — which is exactly why the terms won't be available in the next round.What's validating right nowCarnegie Corporation of New York — $500K grantCarnegie reached out to us cold, based on our reputation. After reviewing our full proposal, they increased their initial grant offer. Over two years, we'll pilot new platform features with teachers and librarians to measure impact on media literacy and students' willingness to seek multiple perspectives.Newsweek — multi-year client, pilot results, wants to expand“Over the years, we’ve partnered with AllSides on bias audits, which not only helped us produce a more balanced publication, but built trust with our audience — and increased our readership. So, when we tried Roundtables, we knew we were in good hands. What surprised us was how eager people were to actually talk with each other — the conversations gave us insights and new content we’d never get from polls or comment sections.”— Jennifer H. Cunningham, Editor-in-Chief, NewsweekOur Roundtables pilot with Newsweek reached 630+ participants and showed measurable shifts in understanding and engagement well above benchmarks. Newsweek is actively looking to expand the program.US government — Balanced News Studio advancing internallyA senior public affairs official at a major US government agency tested our new Balanced News Studio product and presented it to senior leadership last month. The product curates balanced information for internal communications — a use case that has nothing to do with political media and everything to do with how enterprises stay informed.Fortune 500 client, 4 years runningOne of America's largest cable companies has renewed our Bias Services year after year. That's enterprise stickiness in a market we're only now beginning to sell into aggressively — with a dedicated sales team in place for the first time.Two new products add a $10 billion market.With Roundtables and the Balanced News Studio, AllSides is entering markets we’ve never played in before: qualitative research, corporate communications, and audience engagement and deliberation. We’ve already closed some early deals, and we’re in late-stage discussions with some major clients. The combined US market size is over $10 billion.AllSides is already in late stage discussions with major clients and partners for our latest technology — Roundtables and the Balanced News Studio — expected to disrupt the qualitative research and corporate communications markets, a nearly $5 billion opportunity.An audience that trusts us — and pays attentionOur audience is roughly 35% left, 38% right, 27% center — a political balance nearly impossible to replicate, and what makes AllSides a credible neutral platform for any enterprise or government client. That same trust shows up in our new premium newsletter: 65,000+ subscribers, average open rates around 45%, roughly double the industry average. Paid subscribers open at 53–57%.What this round fundsThe market for trusted, balanced content is expanding fast — beyond news into enterprise communications, government, and education. This round funds our next phase: shipping AI-powered tools, dialogue reporting software, and Bias Services channel partnerships. We have a dedicated sales team in market for the first time and active conversations with significant potential partners across media and government. America's 250th anniversary makes 2026 the peak moment for what we do — and we're ready to sell into it.","quick_facts":["Proven success in news; expanding to $10B qualitative research \u0026amp; corporate comms markets.","Clients: Fortune 100 (4th year), Newsweek, Carnegie Corp; six-figure deals in late stages.","80MM+ monthly views peak; 2.5MM avg unique visitors/month; 65,000+ newsletter subscribers.","Experienced leadership; recently added 2 PhDs including Head of AI in cognitive bias.","Patented tech, live dialogue \u0026amp; 10+ years of data provide unmatched insights for clients \u0026amp; LLMs.","Loyal, mission-driven users; 45% direct traffic growth from 2025 to 2026.","Bloomberg-style model: \u0026gt;90% revenue from clients; news drives credibility \u0026amp; outreach.","Revenue growth: Jan/Feb 2026 earned \u0026gt;60% of 2025 revenue, will soon close early bird investor round."]},"computed_metrics":{"total_amount_raised":441180,"total_investors":736,"team_size":4,"featured_investor_count":1,"faq_count":5,"recent_post_count":10},"quick_facts":[{"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"Proven success in news; expanding to $10B qualitative research \u0026amp; corporate comms markets.","citation":"https://wefunder.com/allsides#claim-fact-1","observed_at":"2026-06-05T05:01:05Z","expires_at":"2026-06-12T05:01:05Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"Clients: Fortune 100 (4th year), Newsweek, Carnegie Corp; six-figure deals in late stages.","citation":"https://wefunder.com/allsides#claim-fact-2","observed_at":"2026-06-05T05:01:05Z","expires_at":"2026-06-12T05:01:05Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"80MM+ monthly views peak; 2.5MM avg unique visitors/month; 65,000+ newsletter subscribers.","citation":"https://wefunder.com/allsides#claim-fact-3","observed_at":"2026-06-05T05:01:05Z","expires_at":"2026-06-12T05:01:05Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"Experienced leadership; recently added 2 PhDs including Head of AI in cognitive bias.","citation":"https://wefunder.com/allsides#claim-fact-4","observed_at":"2026-06-05T05:01:05Z","expires_at":"2026-06-12T05:01:05Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-5","value":"Patented tech, live dialogue \u0026amp; 10+ years of data provide unmatched insights for clients \u0026amp; LLMs.","citation":"https://wefunder.com/allsides#claim-fact-5","observed_at":"2026-06-05T05:01:05Z","expires_at":"2026-06-12T05:01:05Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-6","value":"Loyal, mission-driven users; 45% direct traffic growth from 2025 to 2026.","citation":"https://wefunder.com/allsides#claim-fact-6","observed_at":"2026-06-05T05:01:05Z","expires_at":"2026-06-12T05:01:05Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-7","value":"Bloomberg-style model: \u0026gt;90% revenue from clients; news drives credibility \u0026amp; outreach.","citation":"https://wefunder.com/allsides#claim-fact-7","observed_at":"2026-06-05T05:01:05Z","expires_at":"2026-06-12T05:01:05Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-8","value":"Revenue growth: Jan/Feb 2026 earned \u0026gt;60% of 2025 revenue, will soon close early bird investor round.","citation":"https://wefunder.com/allsides#claim-fact-8","observed_at":"2026-06-05T05:01:05Z","expires_at":"2026-06-12T05:01:05Z"}],"latest_fundraise":{"id":121998,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:121998","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","structure":"ttw","testing_the_waters":true,"can_invest_now":false,"funding_started_at":null,"funding_closed_at":null},"investor_memos":[],"team":[{"id":4082098,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:4082098","name":"John Gable","title":"CEO, Board of Directors Chair","role":"founder","profile_url":"https://wefunder.com/john.gable.2"},{"id":4196828,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:4196828","name":"Scott McDonald","title":"CTO, Board of Directors","role":"founder"},{"id":4196829,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:4196829","name":"Joan Blades","title":"Board of Directors","role":"founder"},{"id":4324174,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:4324174","name":"Alice Sheehan","title":"COO / CFO","role":"founder"}],"featured_investors":[{"id":8703,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_investor_profile:8703","name":"Jared Smith","profile_url":"https://wefunder.com/jared.smith.19","endorsement_quote":"I have been a supporter of AllSides and their work for years.

Bottom line, we don’t want AllSides to be another media or technology company purely owned and controlled by “big media”, “big tech” or “big money.” Today, AllSides is owned by 24 individuals, and we want to make that number grow. We will likely in the future raise money from more traditional sources, but we want to maximize the ownership and control of regular people to help preserve our independence and mission to strengthen..."},{"question":"Hi there!

Even though we made a small operational profit in 2022, we are in most ways a “pre-revenue” company with our biggest revenue drivers coming or just beginning to scale. In 2023, we began to dramatically increase our investment in new tech products.

When you invest now in AllSides Technologies (or in another similar company on WeFunder), you are investing at a much earlier stage than you would on the stock market, providing the possibility of a much greater return. You know how companies raise money before they are ever on the stock market and you wondered why you didn't get a chance to invest in those companies?

For companies at this early stage like AllSides, no one knows what the value of the company really is.
