Editorial side. We Them Media is a community-driven media platform, with work from 16 countries. Field footage and on-the-ground coverage. Season 01 opened June 1, 2026 and runs through November 30.

Commercial side. We Them Worldwide LLC contracts with brand clients. SuperBio, our production partner in Abuja, Nigeria (Bayo, Musah, Yama), handles production execution on B2B engagements.

Editorial stays independent and commercial pays the bills. Same network, two different products, and a separation we enforce rather than describe.

Revenue stage: pre-profit. Primary mix is commissioned production, monthly supporter donations via Fractured Atlas, and selective angel backing.

The ETH Conf rollout. Conference coverage went out across the channel as part of Season 01, which opened June 1.

#QueryTheWorld kicked off. One question, put to people on their own streets across the network, answered on camera. See how it works.

We started fundraising. Recurring support went from zero to 15 people at $162 a month, and The Dispatch launched as our newsletter with Kamal running research and co-authoring it.

More than thirty shorts went out between June and August, with long form now in rotation alongside them. We now post seven days a week across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X. This is the stretch where publishing on a schedule stopped being an intention and became a habit.

What that adds up to: we are stepping into being a platform. Putting the We Them Media catalog and archive out in the open is the foundation. Every piece we release is momentum that the next content initiative can build on instead of starting from zero. We are taking the community to market, and building something the community can use. If an ecosystem grows on top of that, good. That is the bet we are making.

We Them Worldwide has been worth every moment of this journey. I am proud for the world to see what I have spent these last few years doing.

02b · Next

Five things in motion.

  1. A full brief on the Pizza Day content. Published here. What the bounty produced, what the pieces cost, what worked and what we would do differently.
  2. $1,000 a month in committed support. Currently $162 across 15 monthly supporters, as of September 9, 2026. Tracked live on the supporter page.
  3. ETH Conf coverage hosted on this site. Not just linked out to YouTube. The project lives here.
  4. One Question, 150 interviews by 4 November. The first campaign runs nine weeks from the Connect of 9 September. Anyone can take part: film one, post it to X and tag us. Tracked on the One Question page.
  5. The Weekly Connect, back every Wednesday. The community call came back on 9 September and runs at noon New York time, now with One Question running through it. Watched together, argued about, recorded and published.

Progress reported in the next quarterly update, December 2026.

03 · End of year 2026

By December 31.

  1. Season 01 fully launched.
  2. A flagship show partnership. In negotiation. Not signed.
  3. First multi-year B2B engagement secured.
  4. Cooperative legal structure formalized.
04 · Capital

What we are raising.

We are not raising a priced round at this time. Inbound investor conversations are welcome and we respond.

The current capital strategy is a mix of commissioned production revenue, monthly supporter donations via Fractured Atlas, and selective angel backing as the cooperative legal structure formalizes.

For investor inquiries, call Maceo directly, or DM any of our social pages and we will get you to him.

05 · Honest about uncertainty

What we are still figuring out.

Distribution strategy across YouTube, the newsletter, and partner channels is still forming. We have a thesis. We do not yet have evidence.

The cooperative legal structure is being formalized. Counsel is engaged. The timeline is months, not weeks.

Pizza Day in May 2026 was a pilot for community activation. We are still learning what worked and what to repeat.

The flagship show partnership is in negotiation. It is not signed.

The numbers in this document will be updated quarterly. They are honest as of the date above. The next update is December 2026.
