👋 Hey Product Hunt! This project began in 2017 when @ekhornung and I wanted to start a fund to invest in our friends’ startups. That sounded like a tall order at the time, so inspired by @jason’s book "Angel" we decided to start by interviewing Pre-Series A founders who weren’t based in Silicon Valley. We’ve told a lot of stories (we even produced a full-length documentary about the Columbus startup ecosystem), but we’ve barely scratched the surface. So today we’re announcing the launch of the upside network! We’re looking for local hosts and newsletter authors to partner with. We handle the upfront costs and backend operations to let our local creators focus on telling great stories. If that sounds like you, visit https://upside.fm/network/. We’d love to hear your questions and feedback below!

This project will be absolutely amazing for the startup ecosystem and providing tools for more creators to enter the space. More stories need to be shared, whether is funding announcements, bootstrapping journeys, exits, failures, wins, etc. For more stories to be shared, we all need more storytellers. Providing those storytellers a ready made toolbox and blueprint for them to succeed will be an absolute game changer. Exciting stuff!

@nick_potts1 Thanks Nick! Glad you are seeing the same thing we are; especially as a founder outside of Silicon Valley. Appreciate your continued support.

@nick_potts1 That's the goal. Just with two new shows on the network, we triple our publishing rate every week, triple the number of companies being covered...this scales very very quickly.

@ekhornung @jayclouse Congratulations on the launch, and thanks for sharing it with our community. I'm sure wonderful makers on Product Hunt will resonate with the fact that talent and spirit to change the world is not geographically limited. I'm sure it's an uphill task for the founders outside of the comfort of the valley, but that is what truly differentiates them... the grit, the determination, and the 'never say die' spirit! I salute you, and the founders for sharing their inspirational stories with us all :) Wanted to know if you're also looking for local hosts and authors outside of US?

@ekhornung @adityavsc thanks so much! That's the spirit we hear so often from our guests on the show. We're definitely open to chatting with hosts and authors outside of the US if this is resonating. They'll just need to choose the "Not Applicable" option under "State" on our Network Form!

@jayclouse @adityavsc We're always looking! Our roadmap starts in the US, but I've had a long time aspiration to explore India, China, and Africa.
