Hey there,

Some quick highlights from our growing network of investors:

As of today, over 600 people have invested $350,000 via Wefunder. This diversified ownership helps us stay independent and on mission, and we intend for it to pay off handsomely for all our investors. It has been a privilege to read the shoutouts – from long time subscribers, to educators using AllSides in their classrooms, and brand new followers – expressing their belief in our vision for a better informed and empathetic society. 

In December, the LAUNCH Accelerator, founded by super investor and All-in podcast star Jason Calacanis, invited AllSides to present at their startup tune-up event. Among over a dozen pre-qualified companies that presented, AllSides was picked as the best opportunity of the day by one of the two judges. Around the same time a year earlier, Pepperdine named AllSides as a “Most Fundable Company” and listed us in Entrepreneur Magazine. We are getting great response and will be pitching more to professional investors this year. 

One thing we have learned is that some new potential investors have a misperception about AllSides. It’s like in the 90’s when many people thought Amazon was just a book store – but they were really about e-commerce. AllSides is often labeled a news company or bias ratings company – but we’re really about the information eco-system. We are about enabling understanding at a time when people universally don’t know what to believe anymore, due to overwhelming bias, misinformation and chaos. As investors begin to see we are not just a news media company but a technology company addressing this universal problem, they see the opportunity.

Thanks for joining us.
