OVERVIEW

Founder Brew, a 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 a reporter to cover the operational truths of being a founder.

Founder Brew explores what it’s like building a business—across startups, small businesses, and “unsexy” real-world companies—and is a publication focused on how current and aspiring founders can be better equipped to handle what comes their way.

Reporting is pragmatically optimistic, and divided between two modes: as-told-to, and traditional reporting. We publish the messy middle, resist PR gloss, and verify the facts behind first-person stories.

We’re looking for a reporter to ideate, research, and create journalism to help take this vertical to new heights.

BRIEF BREW HISTORY

Morning Brew Inc. was founded in 2015 by two entrepreneurial college students who noticed their peers were not consuming legacy media resources about business and finance news, but had a high desire to learn about those topics. What started as a small on-campus email has since evolved into a multi-channel media company that operates 20+ unique content franchises. All while maintaining our witty, honest and engaging tone that millions of loyal MBI audience members rely upon daily to better navigate the world.

In 2020 a majority stake in MBI was acquired by Axel Springer SE and in February 2025 that position was increased to full ownership of the business. Axel Springer SE is a family-owned, transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York that is committed to the values of a free and informed society.
