Company mission
To make the internet a better place, creating a place for the professionals who need a space where the noise is gone and the value is high.
-6% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
With so many news and content sites floating around the internet, it can be difficult to find what you are interested in through all the noise. Inside is a community for business professionals to access curated, quality content and engage with like-minded people online.
Inside was originally envisioned as a dedicated news app, and launched in 2014 to much positive attention. However, according to its founder, the app never got traction, and the company in fact found they were getting better engagement with their email alerts. This caused a pivot to an email subscription model, and the creation of the community site we see today.
With this new direction firmly established, the company is looking to implement AI into its email newsletter curation service, in order to enhance its ability to deliver the most relevant news to its users and further work towards its mission to make the internet a better place.
