WORK • About FOUND

Apr 15, 2025

Two years ago this week, we launched FOUND NY (04/18/23), and one year ago, we debuted FOUND SF (04/17/24) and FOUND Miami (04/18/24). Time flies when you’re building a global lifestyle media brand.

Building the way we do — send by send, city by city — requires diligence and patience. The road to media success is paved with well-intentioned enterprises that flame out in a six-month flurry of content creation, or worse, a sustained, venture-fueled spending binge.

So we’re celebrating the anniversaries, but just for a minute, because there’s much more to build even as we’re poised to cross 100K FOUND subscribers any moment now. Deeper coverage of our current markets? Definitely. New cities? Very likely. Heightened utility for all our subscribers? It’s why we get up every morning.

To make all this happen, we’ve got some immediate projects worthy of your attention:

With thanks to the thousands of you that are already paid FOUND subscribers, we’re adding new paid subscriber benefits as we turn two. First, we’re introducing Quarterly Reports, punchy and actionable roundups of our top recommendations for NYC plus Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami. Paid subscribers will receive the inaugural Q1 ‘25 Quarterly Reports — perfect travel cheatsheets — for each of these locales this month, then add FOUND’s newest haunts, London and Paris, starting in Q2 ‘25.
And beginning next week, Tuesday sends of FOUND NY will be behind the paywall, for paid subscribers only. This is a big change, and we hope if you’re aren’t yet a paid subscriber that you’ll choose to join us on the other side of the paywall. It’s delightful over here.
We’re hiring sales people (full- and/or part-time). If you’re a creative seller with entrepreneurial instincts, especially if you have experience in luxury or real estate advertising, we’d love to chat.
Finally, we’re adding contributors with good taste and sharp pens in all of our markets. That’s NY, LA, SF, Miami, London, and Paris. Interested? Email us with a very quick pitch about the joy you’re going to bring to the FOUND universe.

Thanks for being part of FOUND: The Early Years. Keep sending us feedback and tips (found@foundny.com). More good times ahead. –Josh & Lock
