Philadelphia Media Founders Exchange

The Philadelphia Media Founders Exchange, launched in 2022, focuses on the urgent need and opportunity to support and advance more media entrepreneurs of color to ensure communities prosper and news businesses thrive and grow sustainably on their own terms.

The Founders Exchange entrepreneurs receive grant funding, the opportunity to apply for additional follow-on support, and professional coaching in addition to participating the program curriculum. In 2024, the Founders Exchanged welcomed its first advanced program, which consisted of program alumni whose businesses are poised for the next stage of growth.
