Ghost Company Profile

Ghost is an open-source publishing platform that lets independent writers and media businesses build a website, send newsletters and sell paid subscriptions from one product, aimed at replacing the separate tools publishers previously stitched together for content, email and payments. Publications running on Ghost earn more than $100 million a year combined, with Ghost taking no cut of that revenue through payment fees, and examples include the newsletter Platformer and creators with tens of thousands of paying members. The company was founded in the United Kingdom in 2013.

Ghost is structured as an open-source, independent product funded entirely by its paying users, with no outside investors, and it says roughly 29,000 new publications started on the platform in one recent week.
