A LOCAL-NEWS COMPANY YOU SHOULD SEE (ACCREDITED INVESTORS ONLY)

When my wife and I were growing up in Oceanside, my dad read the Blade-Tribune every day. That paper is gone now, and the same thing has happened in towns all over the country. That’s why I want you to know about Daily News.

Daily News brings a daily paper back to towns that lost theirs. A local editor runs each paper and pays Daily News $299 a month for its AI newsroom tools, plus a share of what the paper earns. The AI does the hours of reading (council agendas, school boards, high school sports, local business, obituaries), so one person who knows the town can publish a full paper every day. It’s built on Citizen Portal, which has transcribed nearly 2 million hours of public meetings, and it’s led by Paul Allen, co-founder and first CEO of Ancestry.com.

Daily News launched on Oct 15. As of Nov 10, 22 editors are paying
$8,183 a month, 15 papers are live, and 101 people have applied to run their town’s paper. All of it is on a live tracker.

When Paul pitched our TCA Venture Group (Inland Empire), I told him I’d never seen a room that excited about a presentation.

The terms: Paul is raising a $500K accredited round on a SAFE at a $5M post-money valuation cap, $25K minimum, first come, first served. The offering is for accredited investors only, and verification is required before anyone invests.
