Inverse is an American digital media company covering topics such as technology, science, and culture for a millennial audience.[2]

History

Launched in 2015 by Dave Nemetz, co-founder of Bleacher Report,[3] the site was made possible through seed funding with its headquarters in San Francisco, California[4] and the editorial staff initially based in Brooklyn, New York.[5]

As of August 2016, the site had over 4.9 million U.S. multiplatform unique visitors.[6]

The company raised a $6 million Series A funding in 2016, led by Crosslink Capital with participation from Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments.[7]

In 2017, the headquarters was moved to SoHo, Manhattan, New York City with an expanded staff of approximately 30 full-time employees and 25 freelancers.[8] In September 2017, the company debuted two shows on the Facebook Watch platform.[9]

Leadership team

As founder, Nemetz serves as CEO of the company, while other co-founders include Winton Welsh (CTO), Steve Marshall (Head of Product and Design) and senior engineers, Michael Schaefermeyer and John Degner. All previously worked with Nemetz at Bleacher Report, but Marshall, Schaefermeyer and Degner are no longer at the company.[10] They appeared on Business Insider's Silicon Alley 100 list in 2015.[11]

Andrew Burmon served as Executive Editor until taking a job at Fatherly in March 2017.[12] Gus Lubin, a former Business Insider employee, replaced Burmon for eight months.[13] Inverse internally promoted Nick Lucchesi and Hannah-Margaret Allen, two early employees, to Editorial Director and Managing Editor under Lubin.[13]

In December 2017, David Spiegel, formerly of CNN and Buzzfeed, joined the staff as Chief Revenue Officer.[14]
