About Yorker Media

Built one property at a time.

A digital media company founded in 2018. We own and run 35 websites and 6 YouTube channels, and sell advertising on all of them at one price.

2017
The first YouTube video and the first blog post, published from a village in Bihar, India, with no team and no funding.
2018
TechYorker launches. Yorker Media is born as a publishing company, not a one-person blog.
2019
First advertising revenue, and the first hard lessons. A traffic collapse is rebuilt article by article.
2021
The portfolio era begins: acquiring domains and existing sites, and turning them into publications.
2023
The journey goes public: 141 consecutive days of documenting how the company is built.
Today
35 websites and 6 YouTube channels, and one marketplace to advertise on all of them.

How we operate

01
Own the audience relationship
We build on properties we own (domains, publications, channels), not on rented reach.
02
Evergreen over trending
Content that answers a real question keeps answering it, long after the news cycle moves on.
03
Small team, long horizon
We operate lean and build brands meant to compound for years, not quarters.
