All great startups deserve headlines

The manifesto

Profitable startups deserve headlines.

A funding round means someone is betting you'll succeed one day. Revenue means customers already decided you're worth paying for. Only one of those is proof, yet only one of them makes the news.

Across Europe and beyond, founders are building companies that pay their own bills: profitable, sustainable, boringly healthy. They hire from revenue. They answer to customers. They rarely get a headline.

We think that's backwards. So we're telling their stories.

What we publish

  • Founders who grew on customer money, not venture rounds
  • Real numbers, confirmed by the founder
  • The unglamorous playbook: first customers, pricing, the month it became profitable

What we promise

Features are always free for founders. Sponsors never buy editorial. Only 20 sponsor spots exist, and they're clearly labeled.
