OVERVIEW
Founder Brew, a new publication dedicated to exploring the real lives, decisions, and psychology of people building companies — from startups to small businesses to creative ventures—is looking for an editor to shape and lead the outlet.
This is both a strategic and hands-on role that will allow you to shape the future of a brand new Morning Brew, Inc. publication. If you like the challenge of setting editorial strategy and helping reporters execute on stories, well, we’ve got the gig for you.
As part of Morning Brew Inc’s business-to-business (B2B) editorial team, Founder Brew sits alongside other professional publications: Marketing Brew, Retail Brew, HR Brew, Healthcare Brew, Revenue Brew, CFO and IT Brew.
Founder Brew will tell the emotional and operational truths of building a business—across startups, small businesses, and “unsexy” real-world companies—so current and aspiring founders feel seen and better equipped to handle what comes their way.
Reporting will be pragmatically optimistic, and divided between two modes: as-told-to, and traditional reporting. We’ll publish the messy middle, resist PR gloss, and verify the facts behind first-person stories.
