Membership in the Tiny News Collective is a supportive, catalyzing experience for founders getting their business off the ground. You will be connected with and supported by industry experts, TNC partners and alumni, and other founders who are facing similar challenges and trying to answer similar questions.
We are focused on very small news organizations that inform unserved or underserved communities. At this time, we can only support organizations in the United States.
Read our eligibility requirements for more details →We provide resources from the moment founders decide to apply to the day they outgrow us. We offer tools and services, and guidance and training that reduces the time it takes to learn to use them. We remove the uncertainty of being on the right path starting with self-paced planning and support.
Here's what you can expect →For a fraction of the cost of assembling your own tech stack, we provide you with access to CMS and newsletter platforms, training, legal assistance, back-office services and much more for $100 per month.
Learn more about our different membership tiers →Our application isn't a matter of figuring out if a founder or group of founders are “good enough” for us. It's about us figuring out if we're the right next step for you. All of our application materials and questions are available in advance of the open application periods.
