OVERVIEW
Founder Brew, a publication dedicated to exploring the real lives, decisions, and psychology of people building companies — from startups to small businesses to creative ventures—is looking for a reporter to cover the operational truths of being a founder.
Founder Brew explores what it’s like building a business—across startups, small businesses, and “unsexy” real-world companies—and is a publication focused on how current and aspiring founders can be better equipped to handle what comes their way.
Reporting is pragmatically optimistic, and divided between two modes: as-told-to, and traditional reporting. We publish the messy middle, resist PR gloss, and verify the facts behind first-person stories.
We’re looking for a reporter to ideate, research, and create journalism to help take this vertical to new heights.
