About Newsvine
Seattle-based Newsvine, Inc.
was founded in 2005 by a small team of like-minded colleagues with one purpose: to build a perfectly different, perfectly efficient way to
read, write, and interact with the news. Founded by veterans of Disney, ESPN, and other media organizations, the mission of Newsvine is
to bring together big and little media in a way which respects established journalism and empowers the individual at the same time.
At Newsvine, you can read stories from established media organizations like the Associated Press as well as individual contributors
from all around the world. Placement of stories is determined by a multitude of factors including freshness, popularity, and reputation.
Contribution is open to all, and editorial judgement is in the hands of the community.
Newsvine is funded by Seattle-based Second Avenue Partners with original ESPN.com CEO Mike Slade
and Aquantive founder Nick Hanauer on the company's Board of Directors. Second Avenue Partners is a Seattle-based provider of management,
strategy, and capital for early stage companies. The firm's venture fund is directed at emerging Internet businesses in the high-tech field.
Second Avenue Partners investment approach is to make early-stage investments in promising ventures and build long-term relationships,
actively assisting its portfolio companies in becoming market leaders.
