The Markup is a pioneering digital media startup founded in 2018. With a slogan of "Challenging technology to serve the public good," it is dedicated to shedding light on how powerful institutions employ technology in ways that affect people and society. The publication aims to address the lack of independent analysis on the impact of technological changes in crucial areas such as news consumption, elections, employment, access to goods and services, and the criminal justice system.
Having received a notable $20.00M grant investment in September 2018, The Markup has garnered support from prominent organizations such as Ford Foundation, Craig Newmark Philanthropies, and MacArthur Foundation. The company's focus on digital media, entertainment, and publishing signifies its commitment to leveraging technology for the betterment of public information and discourse.
The Markup's mission to drive social change through insightful investigative reporting makes it a compelling opportunity for venture capital firms seeking to support ventures at the intersection of technology, media, and social impact.
