IDN Media
IDN Media is Indonesia's largest youth-focused media and entertainment technology company, reaching more than 70 million millennials and Gen Z each month. Founded in 2014 by brothers Winston and William Utomo, it grew from a single news blog (IDN Times) into a multi-platform ecosystem spanning digital media, live streaming, short drama, entertainment and live experiences, and the creator economy. Its stated mission is to democratize information for a better Indonesia.
New Moon Girls
New Moon Girls is an award-winning, ad-free magazine and moderated online community created by and for girls (and femme-identified kids) ages 8 to 14. Founded in 1992 by Nancy Gruver and Joe Kelly for their twin daughters, roughly 95% of its content is written and illustrated by girls themselves, covering everything from body image and activism to art, recipes, and women's history. It has grown from a Duluth, Minnesota print quarterly into a global digital platform where girls publish their work, run polls, and support one another in a safe, feminist, no-advertising space.
HOOKED
HOOKED is a mobile entertainment company that pioneered "chat fiction" - bite-sized stories told as text-message conversations between characters, designed to be read in about five minutes. Built by husband-and-wife founders Prerna Gupta and Parag Chordia under the company Telepathic Inc., the app turned suspense and horror into thumb-tapping cliffhangers and reached tens of millions of mostly teen and young-adult readers, repeatedly topping the App Store charts in dozens of countries.
