Invest in Truth, Balance, and the Future of Democracy

This is your last chance to invest at early investor terms — $33M cap, 15% discount. 678+ investors are already in.


We spent 2025 building. Now comes the growth.

AllSides started as the trusted standard for balanced political news. We're now something bigger: a platform for understanding any issue, from every angle. Thanks to our investors from Wefunder we spent 2025 building the products to make that real. Revenue was flat — and we have no regrets.

In early 2026, the market is validating that bet from multiple directions at once. This campaign closes before most of it converts to revenue — which is exactly why the terms won't be available in the next round.

What's validating right now

Carnegie Corporation of New York — $500K grant

Carnegie reached out to us cold, based on our reputation. After reviewing our full proposal, they increased their initial grant offer. Over two years, we'll pilot new platform features with teachers and librarians to measure impact on media literacy and students' willingness to seek multiple perspectives.

Newsweek — multi-year client, pilot results, wants to expand

“Over the years, we’ve partnered with AllSides on bias audits, which not only helped us produce a more balanced publication, but built trust with our audience — and increased our readership. So, when we tried Roundtables, we knew we were in good hands. What surprised us was how eager people were to actually talk with each other — the conversations gave us insights and new content we’d never get from polls or comment sections.”
— Jennifer H. Cunningham, Editor-in-Chief, Newsweek

Our Roundtables pilot with Newsweek reached 630+ participants and showed measurable shifts in understanding and engagement well above benchmarks. Newsweek is actively looking to expand the program.

US government — Balanced News Studio advancing internally

A senior public affairs official at a major US government agency tested our new Balanced News Studio product and presented it to senior leadership last month. The product curates balanced information for internal communications — a use case that has nothing to do with political media and everything to do with how enterprises stay informed.

Fortune 500 client, 4 years running

One of America's largest cable companies has renewed our Bias Services year after year. That's enterprise stickiness in a market we're only now beginning to sell into aggressively — with a dedicated sales team in place for the first time.

Two new products add a $10 billion market.

With Roundtables and the Balanced News Studio, AllSides is entering markets we’ve never played in before: qualitative research, corporate communications, and audience engagement and deliberation. We’ve already closed some early deals, and we’re in late-stage discussions with some major clients. The combined US market size is over $10 billion.

AllSides is already in late stage discussions with major clients and partners for our latest technology — Roundtables and the Balanced News Studio — expected to disrupt the qualitative research and corporate communications markets, a nearly $5 billion opportunity.

An audience that trusts us — and pays attention

Our audience is roughly 35% left, 38% right, 27% center — a political balance nearly impossible to replicate, and what makes AllSides a credible neutral platform for any enterprise or government client. That same trust shows up in our new premium newsletter: 65,000+ subscribers, average open rates around 45%, roughly double the industry average. Paid subscribers open at 53–57%.


What this round funds

The market for trusted, balanced content is expanding fast — beyond news into enterprise communications, government, and education. This round funds our next phase: shipping AI-powered tools, dialogue reporting software, and Bias Services channel partnerships. We have a dedicated sales team in market for the first time and active conversations with significant potential partners across media and government. America's 250th anniversary makes 2026 the peak moment for what we do — and we're ready to sell into it.

Over 700 investors supported AllSides on Wefunder. We closed the early-bird crowdfunding round on April 23. If you missed the deadline, don’t worry, you can still invest.
