The company
Nico Ventures, Inc. operates yourNEWS.com, a platform built around local and citizen-contributed reporting. The company's thesis is that concentrated corporate ownership and the collapse of the newspaper business model have left a gap in local coverage that a participatory, technology-driven outlet can fill.
As with most media start-ups, the investment case rests on audience growth and the company's ability to convert that audience into advertising, subscription or other revenue.
