For Aspiring Media Entrepreneurs
Starting or curious about starting a content-driven business?
Whether you’re publishing lifestyle content, industry news, or civic journalism, we’re all exploring / mastering very similar business-side challenges:
- Marketing / distribution
- Profitability & revenue diversification
- Content formats
- Technology
- Contributors & employment
In places with strong media ecosystems we’re seeing successful media companies being built on new formats, powered by new business models, and giving under-served communities a new voice. There’s a growing body of knowledge on how to build a successful, modern media company.
We want to make sure Boston has access to that knowledge. Boston is one of the most educated cities in the United States, a world leader in innovation, yet in the attention economy we are far behind similar-sized cities like San Francisco, much less media hubs like Los Angeles and New York.
Boston needs strong media companies to give our innovators, change-makers, and creators the reach they deserve. If you’re on the business side of an audience-serving media company in Boston, join us so you can get connected, stay current, and grow successfully.
