Foundr is an Australian digital subscription magazine focused on the topic of entrepreneurship. The magazine was launched by Nathan Chan, who also serves as the editor of the publication.[1][2][3][4]
History[edit]
The magazine was not called Foundr initially. After a lawsuit filled against the magazine by a company, Nathan Chan renamed the magazine to Foundr.[5] The first issue of the magazine had two subscribers.[6]
Chan continued working a job as an IT support technician while publishing the magazine as a side project.[7][8] At the same time, Foundr magazine was beginning to gain subscribers. After noticing that a post on Instagram increased his subscribers, Chan began focusing on Instagram to generate subscriptions for his magazine.[9] For the seventh issue of the magazine, Chan got Richard Branson for a cover story, which gained the magazine considerable exposure.[10]
In 2014, Chan left his job at Intrepid Travel to begin working full-time on his magazine.[11] By November 2014, Foundr had over 100,000 downloads.[12]
As of March 2016, the magazine has over one million people reading their content every month.[6] The magazine has interviewed Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Arianna Huffington, Marie Forleo, Michelle Phan, Deepak Chopra, Barbara Corcoran and Tim Ferriss. With time, Foundr became a fully fledged media company by offering educational courses, magazine subscriptions, podcasts, events, extensive content across their blog, newsletter and social media.[13]
Foundr V1.0: Lessons from The Greatest Entreprenuers Today[edit]
In November 2016, Foundr launched a Kickstarter project for the book Foundr V1.0: Lessons From The Greatest Entrepreneurs Today.[14] The book contains business advice, tips and case studies from successful entrepreneurs. The project reached over $200,000 in funding, four times its original goal of $50,000.[15]
