Why we Beta
This is our third Splice Beta. Our mission remains the same: to help you build a viable media business.
We believe that the most enduring transformation of this industry can only come through the work of media startups and creators. Our job is to champion them, coach them, and connect them with the wider global media ecosystem. That’s the promise of this community.
The future of media is user-centred, demand-driven, and interest-based. This aligns with the work of so many little startups and creators at Splice Beta who are resolutely trying to serve niche communities that they understand — and respect. And because they understand their communities, they’re figuring out solutions to problems. The jobs to be done, the product-market-fit, the monumentally rewarding job of building for your community: something useful, something relevant, and something that’s valuable enough to pay for. That kind of stuff.
You’re not meant to do this alone, and that’s why you’re here to meet the media ecosystem at Beta. These are not just the fearless journalists who put their lives on the line, but also product designers, business strategists, data analysts, fund managers, media entrepreneurs, students, researchers, academics, and media program managers. Reach out, learn from each other, collaborate, and support each other. Build great things for your communities. And, as always, let us know how we can help.
Welcome home. You have a place here.
